Q: What would you include in a regulatory framework to effectively curb deceptive social media ads?
Katie argues for accountability at the top of the chain, mandatory KYC for advertisers, a robust takedown process, and serious consequences for platforms that monetize scams, along with adopting international duty-of-care models as a template for US policy.
