US prosecutors in Virginia are investigating whether Meta\'s social media platforms facilitated and profited from the illegal sale of drugs, with assistance from the Food and Drug Administration. Meta denies willfully facilitating or profiting from drug sales and collaborates with law enforcement to combat illicit drug distribution. Additionally, Meta faces a lawsuit in Delaware alleging the company failed to address human trafficking and exploitation on Facebook and Instagram. The company argues it has been actively combating these abuses both online and offline for over a decade.
