I Now Assume that All Ads on Apple News Are Scams

Apple News has partnered with Taboola to serve advertisements, but many of these ads appear to be scams. Investigation reveals AI-generated images, fake "going out of business" sales, and domains registered only weeks or months ago despite claiming decades of operation. Examples include sites registered in China claiming 26 years of business history. The Better Business Bureau has warned about these fake retirement sales that collect money before disappearing. Apple's premium news service has become a platform for fraudulent advertising with seemingly no oversight.
