Meta faces scrutiny over unlicensed casino advertisements in Australia
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
The report said that Meta faces scrutiny in Australia following a 14 August report identifying offshore casino advertisements on Facebook and Instagram. A bill introduced on 2 July would empower ACMA to order the removal of illegal gambling advertisements. The proposal would also require banks and payment providers to block transfers to designated illegal operators.
Why it matters
The proposed powers would let ACMA compel advertisement removals where it currently relies on requests to Meta.
