These scammers using Mr Beasts popularity, generosity, and (mostly) deep fake AI to scam people into downloading malware, somehow do not go against Instagrams community guidelines.

After trying to submit a request to review these denied claims, it appears I have been shadow banned in some way or another as only an error message pops up.

Instagram is allowing these to run on their platform. Intentional or not, this is ridiculous and Instagram should be held accountable for allowing malicious websites to advertise their scam on their platform.

For a platform of this scale, this is completely unacceptable. They are blatant and I have no idea how Instagrams report bots/staff are missing these.

Companies serving ads should have at least partial liability for them. If they can’t afford to look into them all, then maybe they are too big or their business model just isn’t as viable as they pretend it is.

They are too big. There is no maybe about it.

You best start believing in late stage capitalism, you’re in one.

We’re already at the point where companies are cannibalizing themselves to grow more, like cancer. They’re going to destroy themselves trying to endlessly grow. And you know what? Thank FUCK for that.

I absolutely agree. If you’re serving up the ad, you have to take responsibility for the contents.
