9.2
Meta announced it removed more than 150,000 accounts tied to organized scam centers in Southeast Asia, with assistance from authorities across 11 countries and resulting in 21 arrests by the Royal Thai Police. The company said this builds on a December 2025 pilot and added new safety features — Facebook warning messages, WhatsApp device-linking notifications, and AI-powered scam detection on Messenger — and plans to expand advertiser verification.
