In the same slideshow, CMG counted Facebook, Google, and Amazon as clients of its “Active Listening” service. After 404 reached out to Google about its partnership, the tech giant removed the media group from the site for its “Partners Program,” which prompted Meta, the owner of Facebook, to admit that it is reviewing CMG to see if it violates any of its terms of service.
So not just Facebook.

So the scammy company listed some known names for their fake tech ad, knowing they are full of shit and they don’t have any partners in this, then deleted the ad when called out. Meanwhile it never existed because they were probably hoping to get someone’s money to develop it. Except everyone knew this is massively stupid so they didn’t.

Can’t wait for all the seven day old accounts to pop up and explain how this is actually just the magic algorithm and confirmation bias at work.

Do we have any info about this being used by any app, or any details about the tech at all? We have an archived version of a deleted ad from a suspicious company. Do we know it even exists and wasn’t a prospective ad to judge interest that went nowhere?

I’m not crazy about ads, it can be nice when they’re effective for the right reasons. That said, a break in happened at my estate once and the only evidence I needed or could secure was because I left my phone at home that day
