Mark Cuban accuses Meta of knowingly running AI deepfake scam ads
Overview
Mark Cuban says Meta runs scam ads built from AI deepfakes of his face and voice, and that the company knows older users are being defrauded.
He cites a Reuters report on internal Meta documents estimating about $16 billion, or roughly 10% of 2024 revenue, came from scam and prohibited-product ads.
Meta spokesman Andy Stone called that estimate rough and overly inclusive. He said scam complaints fell 58% over 18 months.
