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

Manus, a company acquired by Meta, has been promoting an AI tool as a lucrative, minimal-effort side hustle, promising significant monthly earnings by creating websites for businesses. This campaign involves paid content creators on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

The content largely promotes Manus's AI product, suggesting it can generate up to $5k a month, with videos showing young influencers claiming, "There is literally no limit."

However, many of these promotional accounts do not disclose their affiliation with Manus, raising issues of transparency.

Legal experts have highlighted that such lack of disclosure may violate advertising and consumer protection laws in multiple jurisdictions.

Furthermore, most social media platforms, including Meta's own guidelines, require clear labeling of paid promotions, which these Manus ads lack.

Meta has not commented on whether it was aware of these practices or if they comply with its policies, even as regulatory scrutiny might pose challenges for their recent acquisition. #
