"Meta itself estimated that 10% of all its revenue was coming from running ads for scams and goods that they themselves had banned: around $16 billion a year."
"Meta also estimated that its platforms were involved in initiating a third of all successful scams taking place in the entire United States."

More accurate title: Human Meta developer caused security incident by following GenAI advice and lack of secure Meta development controls
This was not a "rogue AI" that misbehaved. The GenAI bot was performing as expected: providing believable, yet garbage and dangerous output.
More importantly, it was a human that performed the actual changes by acting on inaccurate GenAI information and lack of technical controls and policies by Meta. It should be clear by now that GenAI output is not to be trusted, yet this human followed the GenAI output without properly understanding or validating the provided information. Additionally, Meta's development controls and security tools failed to stop the harmful changes from being made by the human.

CNBC: Meta is shutting down VR social platform Horizon Worlds in further pivot away from the metaverse. “The shift for Horizon Worlds, which was once a central part of the company’s push into virtual reality, comes weeks after Meta cut over 1,000 employees from Reality Labs, the unit responsible for the metaverse.”

Great news!
I finally and permanently deleted my Facebook (FB) account. Yipppeee!😜
Only reason I kept FB until now was to communicate with my family, but;
We have other ways to do so.
Anyway, I am so very thrilled.😃

Ein von #KI ausgelöster Sicherheitsvorfall bei #META: https://t3n.de/news/sicherheitspanne-meta-ki-agent-legt-nutzerdaten-offen-1734731/
"Der Vorfall dürfte Meta allerdings kaum davon abhalten, an der aktuellen KI-Strategie festzuhalten – auch wenn das Unternehmen damit deutlich hinter der Konkurrenz liegt."
Offensichtlich, denn wenn KI clever wäre, hätte sie sich einen Anwalt genommen.
Oh wait...
