The main problem is that the platforms have a money incentive to keep spam and scam posts online. They pay meta and TikTok for boosts, the scam gets boosted, all done.
Frankly, it seems like the problem could be solved by forcing the platforms to get a Know Your Customer level of information and putting that info on every boosted post, so people know who's paying for that.
Buuuut, it's Brazil. Justice and fairness only ever happen as side effects from judges' decisions
Its so easy to implement a half-decent KYC these days. Thers a bit of KYC already but it's so basic any scammedr can get around it all easily.
Meta in particular is so bad. I've been reporting straight up scam ads on threads for months now and they're still there!

On the other hand, I think safe-harbour laws are very much necessary if we want the Internet to work for the positive good of the world. We want the companies to take reasonable precautions and act on problematic stuff if it crops up, but that's probably enough.
But on the other hand, jeez, have you seen what kind of discussion shitholes Facebook and Twitter have cultivated? If your company is being described as an accessory to genocide, maybe something has already gone horribly wrong.

Last week, as this discussion was getting media attention, Meta said that "most of those posts only stay up for 4-8 hours before the (uploader) deletes it, before we've had time to review"
Dunno how truthful that statement is, but that really shows how easy it is to game their system

Yes but they should have manual approval of every ad. I don't think thats too much to ask but somehow they've convinced some people to think that way.

If Fakebook or ex-Twatter suddely have to remove all hate-, shit-, and Nazi posts, they would probably be rather ... empty?
