Congress can’t get enough of the Meta boss. Nineteen members of Congress are now pressing Mark Zuckerberg to explain why Meta has allowed ads for cocaine, ecstasy and other drugs on both Facebook and Instagram. It comes after the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) used Meta’s ad library to find 450 Instagram and Facebook ads that included “photos of prescription drug bottles, piles of pills and powders or bricks of cocaine.”
In the letter addressed directly to Zuckerberg, the lawmakers wrote that they wanted details about Meta’s policies for enforcing rules against drug-related ads and about how many times people viewed and interacted with the ads. Congress gave Meta a deadline of September 6 to reply.
