Temu spent up to $962 million on ads that helped finance an army of fake creators on Meta platforms, research claims

Fortune 52

Temu’s Meta partnership advertising appears to be financed through accounts that research says are mostly fake creators rather than real people. The analysis estimates Temu spent up to $962 million on these ads across the U.K. and 27 EU countries over the relevant period, with 73 of the top 100 creators likely being fakes. The likely outcome is increased legal and regulatory scrutiny in Europe due to potentially misleading advertising practices and account authenticity concerns.

Pocket's AI made my game ideas real. Now Meta controls the results.

Ars Technica 1 month ago 52

Pocket, a Meta mobile app, lets users type prompts to generate interactive “gizmos” as shareable prototypes without viewing or editing any code. Pocket launched in the US on August 21. The shift makes game idea prototyping faster for non-coders, but it also limits users’ ability to take results out of Meta’s walled garden.
