The World Needs Zero Fraud On Social Media

Abstract globe with the tagline "Zero Fraud" on a waving flag in front.

With billions of users and huge time spent, social media are the new mass media. Yet they are easily manipulated.

80% of the content you see in your news feed is from strangers. Influencers, ads, news, media.

Platforms’ proprietary algorithms decide what you see. These are black boxes optimized for ad revenue and engagement.

Fraudsters game the system with coordinated fake accounts and synthetic engagement.

Advertisers run targeted ads with laser precision. These ads are mostly invisible to anybody other than the recipients. This has never been possible before.

Bad actors learned how to abuse the system, run deceptive ads and stay below radar.

People’s feeds are often overrun with fraud and deception, without them even realizing it.

We need to work together to bring trust into the system.

Transparency. Trust. Overwatch.
