TLDR Andrej Černý: I study the intersection between malware and media. Scam advertisements across major media outlets originate from DoubleClick and Xandr/AppNexus.

Facebook/Instagram have responded appropriately by banning these scammers and screening for ads that might be related to COVID-19.via the TL;DR App
