The Facebook parent company Meta is in the crosshairs of the judiciary: According to a newspaper report, the American authorities are investigating Meta for possible involvement in the illegal trade in medicines.
As the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, researchers in the southern state of Virginia are investigating the extent to which meta-online platforms facilitate and profit from the illegal drug trade.
The company told the Wall Street Journal that the sale of unapproved drugs violated its own guidelines and that it was in the process of removing relevant content from the platforms.
When asked by AFP, neither the US drug regulator involved in the investigation nor Meta commented on the report.
Meta manager Nick Clegg announced on Friday that Meta wants to join the fight against the trade in synthetic drugs together with the US State Department, the UN and Snapchat. (sda/afp)
