Meta Under the Microscope: Did the Tech Giant Profit from Dark Web Drug Sales?
Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Meta, formerly Facebook, profited from ad sales for regulated drugs and telehealth services promoting them. The probe focuses on the tech company’s potential involvement with unregulated online pharmacies advertising on its platforms. With the surge of telehealth services during the pandemic, sketchy companies are offering controlled substances through digital ads. Meta could face liability for these activities. The FDA is cooperating with the investigation, while Meta remains tight-lipped about the matter.
