Japanese lawmakers are advocating for stricter regulations on social media companies like Meta Platforms to combat scams, particularly those involving false advertisements with fake celebrity endorsements on Facebook. The head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's digital promotion working group emphasized the need for new laws during a recent meeting in Tokyo. This initiative follows criticism of Meta for its inadequate efforts in curbing these fraudulent activities, with a party lawmaker labeling Meta as the 'most non-compliant platform owner.' The issue was discussed by the LDP working group.
