I once saw an ad on LinkedIn made up to look like the CBC (Canadian news) linking to a fake video of the Canadian prime minister announcing a crypto investment plan for all Canadians, with a link to sign up. I reported the ad to LinkedIn and shortly after got a reply telling me they investigated and didn’t find any violation of their policies.

I’ve seen this fake Carney garbage on YouTube. Money speaks louder than truth.

> they investigated and didn’t find any violation of their policies.

When my YT Premium elapsed 70% od ads YT decided to show me were deepfake investment scams (of terrible quality), and Google also didn't find them to violate any of their policy. The remaining 30% were strait up foreign state-level propaganda, those I didn't even bother to report.
