Much of the fraud came from marketers acting suspiciously enough to be flagged by Meta’s internal warning systems. But the company only bans advertisers if its automated systems predict the marketers are at least 95% certain to be committing fraud, the documents show. If the company is less certain – but still believes the advertiser is a likely scammer – Meta charges higher ad rates as a penalty, according to the documents. The idea is to dissuade suspect advertisers from placing ads.

They charge the scammers extra for ads, everytime they get flagged.

So they already doing it to earn extra money.

Wasnt there a case somewhere in the US where someone who was charged in court for speeding or something asked to see the device's source code and was actually able to get it. And was able to proof in court that the device was not good enough to accurately provide the required data.

Or was it for a breathalyser machine? Dont recall the exact details, but I know he got the code for whatever device was used to accuse him of a crime.

They are probably pushing for higher demand to be created for local tech / chips so that the local stuff can catch up with western tech faster. And presumably exceed western tech after that (EVs and related tech like batteries seem to be something they are leading on now - after many billions and years of pushing them for locals to purchase).
