We removed over 6,400 Facebook accounts and Pages between January and October 2025 for
violating our policies against Fraud, Scams and Deceptive Practices and Dangerous Organizations
and Individuals. One disrupted network originating in Cambodia impersonated global law
enforcement to falsely offer loss-recovery services. This work required cross-border collaboration
and closely monitoring the impact of geopolitical changes such as conflict in Myanmar and along
the border in northern Cambodia. We discuss these efforts in more detail in our H1 2026 Adversarial
Threat Report.
Our 2025 disruption efforts culminated in our participation in a Joint Disruption Week pilot
program in Bangkok, where Meta collaborated with the FBI, Royal Thai Police and other law
enforcement agencies. This pilot resulted in the removal of 59,000 accounts, Pages and groups
from Meta’s platforms and six arrest warrants.
In addition to disruptions, we updated our Community Standards on Human Exploitation to capture
more potential criminal scam syndicates’ recruitment content. The update restricts job recruitment
posts in locations that are high risk for labor exploitation as confirmed by law enforcement and local
non-governmental organizations.
Meta also partnered with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime on the #TrappedInScamCrime
campaign to help counter online recruitment and trafficking of persons for forced criminal activity linked to
Southeast Asian scam centers. The campaign amplified survivor-informed prevention messaging to help
people recognize deceptive job offers and access support resources.
We further engaged with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to develop principles for tackling online
scams. This work was in addition to our broader anti-trafficking efforts.
