Meta is running get-rich-quick ads for its AI tools

The Verge
Meta-owned company Manus is using undisclosed influencers to run deceptive get-rich-quick advertisements for its AI website-building tools on social media.

Summary

Manus, an AI company owned by Meta, has been deploying a network of content creators to promote its services through deceptive "get-rich-quick" advertisements on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. These creators often failed to disclose their financial relationship with the company, instead framing the product as an easy way to earn thousands of dollars monthly. Legal experts warn that these undisclosed partnerships and potentially misleading earnings claims likely violate both platform policies and advertising laws in multiple jurisdictions. While Manus claims to be reviewing its practices, the company has declined to comment on Meta's level of oversight regarding these campaigns.
