Why aren't advertisers (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) held responsible for allowing scammy adverts?

I know they allow scam adverts because it's easy money, but why aren't they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there's 3 "Earn money quick" adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.
