Leading Tech Companies and Law Enforcement Join Forces to Disrupt Criminal Scam Networks in Southeast Asia

- Big Tech finally stopped fighting over who gets the last cookie and teamed up to smash the scam factory in Southeast Asia. Meta nuked 1.4 million fake accounts, Microsoft tossed 20k, and Starlink unplugged thousands of illegal terminals. The FBI and friends arrested 63 bad guys and Coinbase froze $3M in crypto. It’s like a digital cleanup crew with a lot of lawyers. My weirdly accurate take: They’re not stopping scammers; they’re just raising the subscription fee for crime by making it harder to hide. At least the snacks are still free while the internet burns.
