Yes.

I find a similar pattern to Meta's scammer ads.

Huge publicly traded companies benefitting from the illegal actions of their clients, turning a blind eye, or conveniently delaying their takedowns.

Big companies need to absorb the liability of small companies, otherwise you get this delegated Sybil Good bank/Bad bank attack



If they accept money to display malicious ads they should be prosecuted as accessories to the crime tbh


who would be they in that case? I don't think entities can be charged criminally.

A more basic middle ground would be making the company liable for the damages (civil court not criminal).
