 Dutch referee Rob Dieperink dies weeks after removal from World Cup officiating list Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has died at the age of 38, weeks after FIFA removed him from its list of officials for the World Cup. The Dutch Football Association (KNVB) confirmed his death in a statement, saying it was “shocked and deeply saddened” by the news. His cause of death has not been disclosed. Dieperink was arrested in April by the Metropolitan Police in the United Kingdom following a report of an alleged sexual assault involving a teenage boy in London. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said officers responded on April 9 to a report of sexual assault at an address in Croydon and arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of the offence. Police later said that after reviewing available evidence, including CCTV footage and digital devices, the investigation had concluded that “the evidential threshold had not been met” and no further action would be taken.

 Consumer group sues Meta over alleged failure to curb scam ads and misleading claims on fraud prevention

A consumer advocacy group has filed a lawsuit against Meta, alleging the company has failed to adequately protect users from scam advertisements on Facebook and Instagram while overstating its efforts to fight online fraud.

The complaint, filed in Washington, D.C., claims Meta allowed fraudulent ads to spread widely across its platforms even as it publicly said it was cracking down on scams. The lawsuit centers on deceptive advertising, including fake government benefit offers and misleading financial promotions, rather than direct user-to-user fraud.

The group argues that Meta’s practices violate consumer protection laws by minimizing the risks users face and exaggerating the effectiveness of its enforcement efforts. It also alleges the company knowingly adopted policies that prioritized advertising revenue over user safety, contributing to the continued presence of scam content online.

According to the lawsuit, fraudulent ads remain easily accessible through Meta’s own advertising tools and archives, suggesting gaps in enforcement. Critics say many of these ads promote unrealistic offers such as fake stimulus payments or government giveaways designed to lure users into scams.

The group is seeking financial damages as well as changes to Meta’s advertising review and content moderation systems.

Meta has denied the allegations and says it will fight the lawsuit. A company spokesperson said the claims misrepresent its efforts and that Meta has taken significant steps to remove fraudulent ads and accounts while investing in systems designed to detect scams before they reach users.

The company maintains that it actively enforces its policies and continues to improve safeguards against deceptive advertising.

The lawsuit comes amid broader scrutiny of Meta’s handling of scam-related content, with regulators and advocacy groups increasingly pressuring the company to strengthen protections. State attorneys general have also previously called for tighter oversight of online advertising practices.

Consumer advocates warn that online scams have become a growing financial threat, costing victims billions of dollars annually, and argue that major platforms play a central role in enabling their spread.
