SINGAPORE: Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong took to Facebook on Sunday to warn the public about a video altered to look and sound like he was advertising an investment product.
Similar ads have used videos and photos of Mr Lee, as well as those of other political figures in Singapore. He posted a screengrab of Meta Business Support’s response, which said the advertisement did not violate the company’s Advertising Standards but that he could “request a review.” Poor LHL.. meta and their scams are too messed up.. even how much i report them.. it just always get ignored, or declined.In a comment on the thread, he reiterated how “annoying” it is that Meta declined to remove the ad when he reported it, adding that he sometimes wished he worked with the company so he “could fix the issues.”“Scams are like Covid.. it keeps on spreading.. we need a layer of understanding to make sure everyone understand,” he added.
