Cuban accuses Meta of running AI deepfake scam ads it knew about
What happened
Mark Cuban accused Facebook of knowingly running AI deepfake ads that scam older people and called it the worst offender, Hacker News reported. The report pairs his claim with Reuters' November 6, 2025 account of internal Meta files. Those files put about $16 billion, roughly 10% of 2024 revenue, at scam and banned-product ads, with users seeing about 15 billion high-risk ads a day. The $16 billion covers scam and banned-product ads overall, not deepfakes alone.
