Meta allegedly gave accounts engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex” 16 chances before suspending them, according to testimony from the company’s former head of safety and well-being, Vaishnavi Jayakumar. The testimony — along with several other claims that Meta ignored problems if they increased engagement — surfaced in an unredacted court filing related to a social media child safety lawsuit filed by school districts across the country.

17 is an oddly specific number.

I have to believe Jerry, the exec who's bad at his job but the CEO likes him, has 16 strikes. One more strike, and the CEO will be forced to update the policy again.

Those kinds of people probably don't like anything the moment it turns 18

Meta doesn't like it when they're legal
