Summary
The SCAM Act makes it illegal for any online platform that sells ad space to display deceptive or fraudulent commercial ads unless it takes reasonable steps to prevent them. It forces platforms to verify who is buying the ad, run detection systems, and quickly investigate and remove suspect ads. The aim is to protect consumers from the growing number of scams that spread through social‑media sites.
