Since August this year, many netizens have reported that Facebook was "washed" by Tan Yonglin's advertisements, and related advertisements were mostly about investment experiences. Facebook said it filed a lawsuit against ILikeAd Media International Company Ltd. and two individuals in California, the United States, today (6), alleging violations of Facebook terms and advertising policies. Accused companies sometimes use star photos in ads to entice others to click, then steal the victim ’s account and issue fraudulent ads.

Elec Media is a registered company in Hong Kong. Tian Rihong, the sole director of the company, is from the Mainland and lives in Fushun City, Liaoning Province.

Facebook also claims that the defendant also engaged in what is known as cloaking. Through cloaking, the defendant displayed one version of the ad landing page on the Facebook system, but displayed another version to Facebook users, deliberately disguising the true destination of the website link on the ad. So far, there are not many legal proceedings in such cases.

Facebook says it refunds victims of unauthorized ads and helps them secure their accounts. Facebook also emphasized that it will continue to detect malicious behavior and enforce violations of terms and policies.
