Zuckerberg In Hot Water Again Or Rather His Company

Just when Zuckerberg thought that Facebook was out of the storm, something else goes and happens. Except of course you have been living under a rock, Facebook has had a huge scandal.

However, this particular issue is not related to the aforementioned scandal. Lovers of digital currency are coming for FB and they are doing it hard!

The social media company has forbidden any and every cryptocurrency ad known to man on the site.

If Mark’s company hadn’t recently gotten into hot water, then no one would be paying this issue much attention, to be honest.

Before the prohibition of cryptocurrency ads, it appears that the company affirmed various Initial Coin Offerings publicizing campaigns. Although that isn’t totally extraordinary, these ICOs asserted Martin Lewis as one of their significant supporters.

Lewis is the founder of the MoneySavingExpert website and he is also the host of the ITV show, Money Show in the U.K.

Unbeknownst to the general public, certain projects chose to utilize photos of Mr. Lewis, in addition to his name, to advance the quick money plans. While having one phony commercial sneak past is dependably a particular probability, a sum of more than 50 counterfeit Martin Lewis adverts have been distributed on the Facebook platform to date. That isn’t worthy of any extent of the creative ability.

Martin Lewis issued the accompanying remark on the issue:

“I don’t do adverts. I’ve told Facebook that. Any ad with my picture or name it without my permission. I’ve asked it not to publish them, or at least to check their legitimacy with me before publishing. This shouldn’t be difficult – after all, it’s a leader in face and text recognition. Yet it simply continues to repeatedly publish these adverts and then relies on me to report them, once the damage has been done. Even when they are reported, many have been left up for days or weeks. And finally, when they are taken down the scammers just launch a new, nearly identical campaign very soon afterward and the whole rigmarole starts again.”

Since there has been no determination from Facebook with respect to these occurrences, Martin Lewis has documented an official claim against the web-based social networking monster. Specialist Mark Lewis from Seddons law office will lead the case. A few people may review that name from the Jack Monroe criticism case including maligning on Twitter. The majority of this does not look good for Facebook at all.

It will enthusiasm to perceive how the greater part of this works out for the online networking monster. It is clear these notices ought to never have snuck past Facebook’s manual survey and endorsement process. Its inability to make a move after these issues were accounted for is likewise extremely troubling.
