Wow it seems like corporations condone child abuse.
It really seems like we need some "proportionality laws" such as "a service provider cannot treat illegal activity with more lenience than civil disputes" and retain neutrality protections.
meanwhile YouTube had a 3 strike policy for copyright claims that might not even be true
Ah, but corporate profit margins are much more important than people
Ha ha ha ha........ha..........

... to google. (Not sure if it's generalizable to 95% of for-profit corporations by the legal definition of for-profit. But we know for sure about google.)
How many strikes do they allow now?
Infinite until there are actual consequences for the company.
Yes.
Jesus fuck, even 3-strikes would be absurd for this...
17 is an oddly specific number.
Those kinds of people probably don't like anything the moment it turns 18
Meta doesn't like it when they're legal
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.
18 is too many ~~years~~ chances.
hey look who hasn't been busted doing the same wrong thing on the 15th time and thought, "man y'know what it's time to turn myself around..."
"Promise me you won't be sending 15 year olds to your island next time, Epstein, or you will be banned if you do it again for the 16th time."
Although, seriously, this explains a lot why Trump admin and the oligarchs are sexual deviants.
I think, more likely, they had a 3 strike rule. But he kept breaking it, so they increased it to 4. And again. And again.
And that's how we ended up at 16
So in reality they had an n + 1 strike policy. Brilliant.
Stop! Or I shall be forced to say stop another time!
I'm not defending the policy but the title doesn't match the story:
“That means that you could incur 16 violations for prostitution and sexual solicitation, and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended,”
So, 17 strikes you're out.
Thats why baseball games in the 1800s were much longer.
You should look into the history of cricket
I mean, it IS The Verge. They could be so inept that they just forgot to include anything relating to the title in their story
that matches the title completely
Sex work =/= sex trafficking
Meta allegedly gave accounts engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex” 16 chances before suspending them,
the article is about sex trafficking, the policy would also apply to sex workers, eventually.
not everything about sex trafficking is about sex workers…
Unless they have to drive to you during rush hour. Then it's sex work with traffic.
Sometimes. Probably not on Facebook.
There's a pretty good This American Life about it. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/740/there-i-fixed-it
What's "This american life", beyond a podcast? Not something I'm familiar with.
Just a podcast.
“We strongly disagree with these allegations, which rely on cherry-picked quotes and misinformed opinions in an attempt to present a deliberately misleading picture,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in an emailed statement to The Verge.
Press X for doubt.
I tried reporting a blatant kidnapping/pig butchering gang, and there literally wasn’t a category for it in their reporting mechanism. I picked the closest thing I could think of, and naturally the report just got ignored.
Meanwhile, one harmless meme and you're suspended. I don't get why people use Meta anymore. The site went to shit 20 years ago, and nobody seems to want to jump to another platform. For reasons unknown - there was no issue leaving MySpace for Facebook, so just fucking do it again.
I've been using it for news since Reddit fucking banned my ass
Idk the only time I've seen Facebook dot com links is when my parents send me AI videos of animals. I'm trying to get them off of it but they are set in their ways, etc etc
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you. Fool me three times, shame on you. Fool me four times...
