Mark Zuckerberg cannot do this. He could sell his shares and leave Facebook, but it would still work.

Your best bet about shutting down Facebook is government action or useds leaving Facebook. Either of those seems almost impossible however, and keep in mind Facebook has money to purchase its competitors if useds start moving to them.

We just need regulation. If Facebook advertising is used to promote a scam then Facebook should be considered complicit for the crime and punished.

The market will do the rest. Facebook doesn’t want to be fined so will force all ads to be reviewed & approved manually. This costs money so in turn the price of the ads will go up. Legitimate brands will still be able to afford it, the rest will disappear. Overall there would be less “noise” in the ads compared to the “signal” (the very few good ads).

Regulations, at least in the US will be purchased by the multi billion dollar ad companies.
