Blackburn urges Meta to ban black market groups selling fraudulent access to delivery services

Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Wednesday urged Meta to take down black market groups on Facebook that have been used by illegal migrants to fraudulently sell access to delivery service accounts such as DoorDash and Grubhub.

"They are trying to thwart some of the good work that President Trump is doing on the illegal immigrant front, and they have allowed these pages to take place where you can have illegal aliens going in and renting the accounts of Uber Eats and DoorDash and home delivery services," Blackburn said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "We are trying to get Facebook to take these pages down."

Last week, Blackburn sent a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after reports came out about Meta allegedly allowing black market groups on Facebook with thousands of members to fraudulently sell access to rideshare and delivery service accounts.

“I write to express my concern at the reports that Meta has failed to remove black-market groups operating on Facebook wherein individuals buy and sell access to rideshare and delivery service accounts," Blackburn wrote in her letter.

Earlier this month, Blackburn led a probe into illegal migrants allegedly selling access to delivery service accounts and found it to be a security issue.

 “These security concerns are not figurative, but they are having real, devastating impacts on Americans across the country," Blackburn said in the letter. "In one disturbing account, a woman was allegedly raped after ordering an Uber Eats delivery to her home."
