  Meta said it introduced stricter rules for advertisers of financial products and services targeting Australians.

Meta, the parent company of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, has introduced stricter advertising policies in Australia to combat the rising tide of financial scams targeting its users. The new rules mandate that advertisers of financial products must be pre-approved by Meta, ensuring they are legitimate and authorized by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
