　ＳＮＳで有名人になりすまして投資などを呼び掛ける広告でお金をだまし取られる被害が相次いでいる問題で、米ＩＴ大手メタ（旧フェイスブック）が国会の参考人招致に応じる意向を示していることが、１５日分かった。なりすまし広告対策を検討する自民党のワーキングチームの会合で、同党の平井卓也元デジタル相が明らかにした。
　参考人としての出席は、自民側がザッカーバーグ最高経営責任者（ＣＥＯ）に要請し、同社から「本人でなければ可能」と回答があったという。（2024/05/15-14:16）

U.S. information technology giant Meta Platforms Inc. plans to accept a request for testimony at the Diet, Japan's parliament, following a series of investment scams using social media advertising, it was learned Wednesday.
   The plan was disclosed by former digital minister Takuya Hirai at a meeting of a working group of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, held to tackle such fraudulent ads featuring the images and names of famous people.
   The LDP asked Meta Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to give unsworn testimony in the Diet. The U.S. company said in response that it could send personnel other than him, according to Hirai.
   After the day's meeting, Hirai explained that the Diet will decide later whether it is necessary to summon a Meta official. If realized, a senior official would appear at the Diet, he also said.
   The working group is scheduled to draw up recommendations to the government on the matter next week at the earliest.
