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.

That seems like 17 strikes too many.

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

To be fair, they allowed 17 strikes without repercussions. We may never actually know how many strikes it would take to get suspended on the platform

Zero strikes and you're out!

Hurray, everyone is off the platform. Honestly, that would be for the best...

I suggest a 1 strike policy.
Here's an example: use 1 supersonic heatseeking rocket to do a rocket strike on Zuckerberg (if he survives then use 1 more rocket until he is no longer breathing)

If successful then it could be a policy that's adopted to be used on other billionaires, muskyboy, tRUMP, etc etc.

It may not work but I say we should give it a go for about ten years to see what happens...

use 1 supersonic heatseeking rocket

Personally I'd go for the slap chop, aka R-9X, but I understand if you fancy heatseekers
