I think no, TikTok rarely have such scam advertisement. TikTok is more controlled. If TikTok can do it, I don”t see any reason Facebook cannot do it.

The public got the concept wrong, the analogies used are so misleading & reflect on their limited perception.

The more rationale analogy :-

Commercial Park (Physical) vs Facebook (Cyber)
Shot Lot (Physical) vs Advertisement / Landing Page (e-shop)

No one will blame the commercial park (physical) or Facebook (cyber),
No one will blame the shot lot (physical) or landing page (e-shop).
But the moment the criminal activity is carried out at the shop vs criminal activity carried out at the landing page (e-shop), it is wrong.
Upon report by the public / victim on such cases, the authority will raid the shot lot or get the illegal landing page (e-shop) to be taken down.

If public report have been made, the authority did nothing, then that is the authority wrong.
If the drug selling activity have been reported, the authority did nothing to stop the illegal activity, then that is the authority wrong.
If the illegal website activity have been reported, the authority did nothing to stop the illegal activity, then that is the authority wrong.
Now the authority is doing the correct thing, the public is criticizing the move by the authority is wrong.

The limitation on the public civic awareness is really the cause that is dragging this country down.

They only requested the illegal advertisement to be taken down not ban the entire platform.

They are using the digital phone spoofing. The number displayed is actually not the real number & they can actually use any number they want. Means any number belong to the public can be used.

I made the report to police & MCMC, they explained the issue technically. They can changed the number as they like & even the phone number belongs to civilian like you can be used without you knowing. Hence , it is not feasible.

It is not the Facebook platform, it is the illegal advertisement on Facebook platform.

Ppl run illegal activity at 1 shop, police go seal off the entire commercial park ? Not logic right? Only seal off the illegal shop, the rest of the shops still can operate.

They reported to police, that's why police asked MCMC to take the illegal advertisement down. When MCMC wants Facebook to take down the illegal advertisement, the public reaction like shooting randomly using shot gun, criticizing for the sake for criticizing.

You see the comments coming in, you will know the frustration level.

It is the loophole on the cyberspace. By conventional physical way, the raid or sealing of premise by the law enforcer needs the court order / warrant but for the cyberworld, no scammer is going to operates their operation locally logically. Usually they will operates at the neighbouring country. Our country court order / warrant may not be enforceable at the other country.

The strange part, why Tik Tok platform has no issue but Meta has this issue.

Yes ,one of the way. Just move away from Facebook. Let them become the dinasour since they dont listen.

KLCI will nose dive. Our EPF, PNB, KWAP, LTAT & UT funds all will be affected. Not a good option.

Bro, if this is feasible…. We won”t have such low civic awareness. It will take ages…

In our society structure, there always a mass majority with limited capabilities to understand the complexity of the issue.

Another critical point. They are spending most of their time at socmed @ Facebook…the most vulnerable location for their source of information.

They will remove it, FB is favoring the scammers from all the feedback so far.

The one at school or younger generation are safe for now because their exposure to FB is limited, they are more exposed to Tik Tok platform ( more controlled).

Those that no longer in school are the issue. They have moved away from main stream media - believing the main stream medias are controlled by the politician for their propaganda. Their source of information is mainly from the most vulnerable platform.

Bro, you go search the page…you see the number of likes vs our country adult populations . I”ll say the awareness campaign failed miserably. It didn”t reach the targeted audience.

2ndly, usually very less public want to follow the government agency FB pages.

Direct that anger to the government or PH, I got nothing to do with them. Just voicing my observation.🫢

Budget election tak sama budget pentadbiran 😅.

***

Locations of the education / awareness campaign I can think off. Places where ppl must/will go physically:-

1) 1 day we need to eat 3 times. Location F&B , Malls, Groceries, Market, Grabfood / Foodpanda,etc

2) Place of worshipping - Mosque, surau, churches, temples, etc. The atheist will be left out.

3) Places of recreation - parks, place of interest, gym, dance studio, etc

4) Public transportation - LRT, MRT, buses

***

The campaign material placed on such location should be able to reach the mass majority of our ppl.
