Why Facebook/Meta is protecting scammers?

5 points by Brosper ↗ HN
During last 2 years I reported so samy scammers that’a hard to count. Every time Facebook wrote back to me that’s every post I reported is nit a scam. Even when I reported reply with scam link. What is going on?

Also everytime somebody is creating fake instagram account mimicking original and report it I don’t event get the report answered. Why?

The worst part, I created an instagram account for my company, legit and registered one, it got insta-banned after few minutes, asked to add a phone number AND a selfie (which is useless as it’s a company account), and still got insta-response that it’s PERMANENTLY banned, I couldn’t even find any support contact form or anything, doing some googling turned out that Meta overall still work like a syndicate, and you should know someone to know someone to pull some strings there which is disgusting for a company in this size, and I don’t know anyone is working there, so my company account is still banned after it was created by few minutes. And just like you OP, I have an insta (personal) account that I never use but sometimes I get notifications that “Elon Musk” requested to follow you, and when I report them, they are still at my requests list till now, meaning they never got banned. I genuinely don’t know why people are still using anything Meta in this year.

What's the incentive?

What do you mean? Incentive to report or Meta to do anything in this area?
