Sucks that FB gets the blame for this stuff, well at least in the media. This will only put them under more pressure -> bigger/stricter changes will be implemented when it comes to advertising.

Good luck guys

With great power comes great responsibility, Facebook has to deal with it.
Good luck to affiliates!

Can't blame him but I have no idea how Facebook can completely avoid this happening. It's strange that so many people try to hold FB to a higher standard than the newspapers they read everyday. Somehow the fact that you, as a reader, pay for that subscription makes it OK for papers to write extremely clickbait-ey and misleading stories...

"Any damages will be will be donated to anti-scam charities, he said."

I wonder if there is such a thing...

Schools.

Partially serious - most of the issues would be solved if people would learn about all these tricks and wouldn't fall for it. The reason marketers (affiliates or not) get so aggressive and misleading is because it works...
