Messenger is also rolling out advanced scam detection, utilizing AI to identify scam patterns in chats, including impersonations and spoofed links. These efforts are part of a broader crackdown where Meta, in partnership with international law enforcement, has disabled over 150,000 scam-linked accounts and arrested 21 individuals.
