Facebook says it is looking to crack down on scams, but some people are skeptical according to TechCrunch.
Facebook says that deceptive ads are a widespread problem on the Web (which is true), and they say they’ve been fighting these scams for some time (which is also true, albeit a little slowly sometimes). They point to their updated policies on third party ads on the Facebook platform from July – which are aggresively pro-user but have rarely been enforced. They also note that they have disabled two ad networks since then, and are disabling two more now.Facebook posted a log blog post on the topic. Anti-scam efforts seem to be the theme de jour at social networking sites. The problem is that both apps and ads get farmed out to thrid parties. Policing it cuts into short term revenues. Not policing it has long term consequences...
