The Committee further stated that Grievance Officer at Facebook must act promptly on the Committee&#8217;s directives and confirm the action taken to the Committee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The alleged fake interview endorsing bitcoins and get rich quick schemes had been making rounds at Facebook, a widely used social media platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The community guidelines of Facebook states that promoting or encouraging get-rich quick schemes is a violation of their community guidelines as it constitutes fraud.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Grievance Officer (GO) of Meta responded stating that the responded on 08-11-2023 stating that the content does not go against the community guidelines of Facebook.
