Facebook’s parent company, Meta, wins ‘Shonky’ award for not tackling scam ads
- Facebook's parent company, Meta, has won an award for its poor performance in tackling scam ads.
- Consumer group CHOICE awarded Meta a ‘Shonky’ because it failed to protect Australians from scams.
- Last year, Facebook’s social media platforms accounted for 76% of all reported social media scam losses.
- Meta was accused of making $44m from networks that were subsequently removed for 'coordinated inauthentic behaviour', including political manipulation and scams.
- CHOICE found three suspicious Facebook ads, but when reported to Meta, they remained live for up to four days.
- The Shonky Awards highlight product and business practices and were awarded to Meta, NIB, Acerpure, Daily Juice and GroundingWell.
- Former government cybersecurity boss Alastair MacGibbon accused social media companies of being “wilfully blind towards criminality on their sites”.
- Meta responded to criticism by invoking a US law called Section 230, which gives it immunity from liability for fraudulent ads.
- Consumer watchdog the ACCC is pushing for tougher controls on technology giants, including Google, Apple and Amazon, to tackle scams and fraud.
- CHOICE has been campaigning for mandatory obligations on social media companies, including Meta, to do more to prevent scams and support scam victims.

How Meta built large-scale cryptographic monitoring
- Meta has shared insightful details from their own cryptographic monitoring system with the industry, including challenges faced during its implementation. The system has helped their engineers detect and remove weak cryptographic algorithms and have assisted with general change safety and reliability efforts. This has been instrumental in ensuring its reliability as well as in helping their engineers understand how cryptography is used at Meta so they can make informed development decisions. To avoid introducing any sampling, in which most logs would be omitted, the logging uses a “buffering and flushing” strategy on a preconfigured interval.
- The strategy of aggregation during buffering maintains a count for every unique cryptographic event. When it comes time to flush, this count is exported along with the log. Since machines often compute millions of cryptographic operations per day, this strategy can lead to significant compute savings in production.
- Thanks to our long retention window, our monitoring service provides data insights to preemptively identify clients using cryptography in risky ways and work with them to mitigate these issues before they become real security vulnerabilities. We can also detect key overuse and rotate keys proactively. Furthermore, we can monitor what versions of our library are running across our fleet in real-time.
- Supporting cryptographic logging at Meta’s scale has challenges, including occasional increased load on Scribe and Scuba, which have been managed through design optimizations. A few more optimizations are planned to optimize Scribe throughput and Scuba storage utilization.
- Additional challenges of flushing logs when a job is being shut down have been addressed to support cryptographic monitoring at scale.
- In summary, Meta’s cryptographic monitoring system using a “buffering and flushing” strategy has been instrumental in helping the engineers in detecting and removing weak cryptographic algorithms at scale, aiding infrastructure reliability and ensuring the security posture of cryptographic apps.

Iceberg and Trino highlight enterprise demand for cross-platform data lake functionality
- Apache Iceberg, the database table format project, is providing full database functionality on top of cloud object stores with open-source tools.
- Created by two Netflix engineers to overcome issues with the company's Amazon S3-stored media streaming files, Iceberg demonstrates how the separation of storage from compute in modern data stacks has allowed scalable, cost-effective computing and improved interaction between systems.
- Users can work with any analytics engine by employing Iceberg to enable all compute engines to interact with common data foundations.
- Meanwhile, open-source Trino distributed query engine, developed to replace Facebook's 300-petabyte Hive data warehouse, responds to the need for fast, ad-hoc analytics queries over big data file systems.
- Starburst, the commercial developer of Trino, is taking steps to make it simpler to build apps on data lake architectures by offering a fully managed Icehouse data lake to support near-real-time data ingestion into a managed Iceberg table at a petabyte scale.
- Iceberg's modern table format continues to attract enterprise interest, with Google, Snowflake and Databricks among the companies that have announced support for it according to its creator Ryan Blue.
- In its earnings call at the end of February, Snowflake noted that customer adoption of Iceberg tables could create “revenue headwinds” for the firm.
- Iceberg provides a strong technical foundation and an open community, where it's owned and controlled by the Apache Software Foundation. Blue wants the project to be a foundational layer in data architecture for solving all of the problems.
- Assembling the best analytical engines in cost-effective solutions is important because people want to move to more cost-effective solutions when there's too much data to process, according to Dain Sundstrom, chief technology officer of Starburst.
- Iceberg combines Trino and Iceberg storage, and offers the best data lake format in Sundstrom's opinion.
