<aside> 🗞️ TL;DR. We discuss the prevalence of scams and fraud on Meta’s platforms with LLaMa, an Open Source AI developed by Meta.

We highlight how evidence we’ve gathered on ‘Eyeline Group’, a large scale investment scam operator operating on Facebook, directly contradicts the statements made by Meta to the UK’s parliament earlier this year.

In our conversation LLaMa calls into question the effectiveness of Meta’s AI technology before calling for regulators and lawmakers to take action against Meta.
