Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts?
I know they allow scam adverts because it's easy money, but why aren't they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there's 3 "Earn money quick" adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.
You're viewing a single thread.
Because they are not making the adverts. That is it. As they are not the creator they won't be held responsible.
So I guess it's okay to distribute CP, because you aren't the creator, therefore you're not going to be held responsible.
According to the law you are required to remove it as soon as you know it is there, but if you are not the original uploader you are not going to be held responsible
If I received financial compensation to promote a Ponzi scheme I would be held accountable.
It is the law's job to prevent and stop scams not of the platform that provides the advertising
If I had a printing shop (not sure how is it called in English) should I be the one who checks that what is written on the handouts is legit? Heck no, I don't have the means for that.
In this case the company selling ad space isn't the print shop they are the man handing out those handouts. They receive money from the scammers for directing people to these scam websites, money that is the profits of those scams.
(People will understand what you mean if you say printing shop. As a native English speaker I normally hear it said as just print shop, but printing shop works.)
