Meta launches regional anti-scam education campaign with government partners

Meta has teamed up with more than 25 government agencies and safety groups to fight online scams. The campaign started in May 2026 and has already reached over 303 million people in 18 countries. It has produced more than 1.3 billion impressions and 1.2 million link clicks. The campaign ran in Asia, India, and Brazil, and it taught people how to use security tools already available on Facebook and Instagram. Meta built the campaign around three ideas: giving practical advice, making action easy, and using trusted sources. The company also removed more than 15,000 accounts connected to romance scams. Meta announced new fraud detection tools and stronger cooperation with law enforcement on 11 March 2026.
