Meta Faces Calls for Congressional Probe Over Senior Scam Ads. Meta is facing renewed pressure after retirement advocacy groups called on Congress to investigate scam advertisements targeting older Americans on its social media platforms. In a letter sent to leaders of the House Homeland Security Committee, the groups accused Meta of failing to remove fraudulent ads quickly enough, leaving seniors vulnerable to financial scams. The concerns center on deceptive Medicare-related advertisements that critics say have spread widely across Facebook and Instagram. Advocates argue that scammers are profiting while older Americans face growing risks of financial loss. Meta rejected the accusations, saying it actively fights online fraud and works closely with law enforcement agencies to identify and disrupt criminal networks. The company pointed to recent international operations aimed at shutting down scam organizations. The issue has already attracted bipartisan attention in Washington, with lawmakers previously urging federal agencies to investigate fraud on Meta’s platforms and proposing new legislation to combat deceptive online advertising.
