Santa Clara County Counsel Files Landmark Civil Prosecution Taking on Meta Platforms, Inc.'s Role in Massive Consumer Fraud Santa Clara County Counsel Tony LoPresti filed a landmark civil prosecution against Meta Platforms, Inc. The action, which is the first brought in California and the first brought by a local civil prosecutor in the nation, alleges that Meta knowingly facilitates and profits from billions of scam advertisements on its popular Facebook and Instagram platforms that defraud seniors and families and squeeze legitimate small businesses out of fair access to consumers. The complaint, filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleges that Meta is deeply aware of the scale of the problem, tracking up to 15 billion scam ads shown to users every day across its platforms and deriving an estimated $7 billion in annual “violating revenue”—Meta’s internal term for revenue resulting from fraudulent or otherwise prohibited advertisements. According to the filing, Meta’s own systems flag ads that are likely scams but, instead of stopping those ads, the company charges scammers a premium price to run them, a practice that both facilitates and monetizes deception. The lawsuit further alleges that Meta’s sophisticated artificial intelligence tools and high-tech programs actively target vulnerable consumers and contribute to creating and refining scam ads. The complaint alleges that Meta has maintained a network of thousands of “Business Partners” that help scammers post their ads. Many of these Business Partners—characterized by Meta as “trusted” experts—openly advertise their ability to post scam ads on Meta’s platforms. The scams themselves run the gamut, including fraudulent financial products, cryptocurrency schemes, purported cures for incurable diseases, ineffective nutritional supplements, and impersonations of celebrities asking for monetary contributions. Meta is accused of knowingly enabling and profiting from a vast ecosystem of scam ads, with internal documents estimating its platforms host a third of all U.S. internet scams and contributing to more than $2.5 billion in losses for Californians in 2024 alone. Seniors are hit hardest—Californians over 60 lost more than $800 million, and nationwide, older adults reported losses more than four times the average. Meta’s practices allegedly flood its ad auctions with fraudulent ads that drive up costs for legitimate small businesses, while its AI tools generate and test thousands of ad variations in ways a Reuters investigation found can make ads significantly more misleading. According to the lawsuit, Meta’s algorithms then steer these deceptive ads toward people most vulnerable to harm, including users who previously clicked on scam ads, compounding losses among those least able to bear them. Meanwhile, the company publicly touts its commitment to safety but internally prioritizes revenue, including imposing “revenue guardrails” that limit enforcement against scam ads. LoPresti is asking the Court to stop Meta’s unlawful practices through injunctive relief; to require restitution for money lost as a result of Meta’s actions; and to impose civil penalties, including enhanced penalties for violations affecting senior citizens and treble remedies available under California law to deter wrongdoing against vulnerable populations. The complaint underscores Meta’s immense scale and capacity to protect the public if it chose to prioritize safety over its own profits and comply with the law: The company reported nearly $201 billion in revenue in 2025, about 98% from advertising, and ad impressions continue to climb. The lawsuit argues that no company that large should be allowed to treat regulatory fines as a mere cost of doing business while Californians bear staggering financial and emotional losses. The action is brought by the People of the State of California, acting by and through Santa Clara County Counsel Tony LoPresti, with the assistance of outside special counsel Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (BLB&G), Bishop Partnoy LLP, and Renne Public Law Group LLP. お知らせ • May 02

Ultra Accelerator Link Consortium Publishes Four Specifications Defining In-Network Compute, Chiplets, Manageability and 200G Performance Ultra Accelerator Link Consortium, the industry standards organization developing the open scale-up interconnect for next-generation AI workloads, announced the ratification of the next UALink Specification, which encompasses three major additions – In-Network Compute, Chiplet Definition, and Manageability. The new specifications support the deployment of UALink solutions in multi-workload environments, while simultaneously helping improve UALink technology efficiency, performance for AI workloads and ease of implementation. The UALink Consortium provides a standardized foundation for accelerator connectivity at scale, helping drive innovation, increase deployment flexibility and support the rapidly growing performance demands of next-generation AI workloads. The new specification update is facilitated through UALink Consortium’s open governance model, which fosters innovation while enabling a robust, multi-vendor supply chain, providing system designers and cloud providers with the necessary flexibility to deploy interoperable solutions without vendor lock-in. New UALink Specifications: UALink Common Specification 2.0 introduces In-Network Compute for UALink technology, facilitating computation and communication between accelerators. Reduces latency, saves bandwidth, and improves scaling efficiency for distributed training and inference for AI solutions for complex and multi-workload environments for UALink systems. UALink 200G Data Link and Physical Layers (DL/PL) Specification 2.0 split the DL/PL Specification from the UALink Common Specification to enable UALink to move quickly as new physical layers and speeds are needed by the industry without requiring changes to the other specifications. UALink Manageability Specification 1.0 introduces UALink as a system with centralized control and management planes. Utilizes standardized protocols, modeling and APIs like gNMI, Yang, SAI and Redfish. UALink Chiplet Specification 1.0 defines the necessary information to integrate UALink technology into chiplet-based SoCs, including interfaces, form factors, flow control and chiplet management standardization. Fully compliant with the UCIe 3.0 Specification for simplified integration into existing chiplet ecosystems. All of the UALink specifications are available for public download.
