No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

Wtf? How did they arrive at that number? Did someone senior at Meta get caught 16 times?
How did they arrive at that number?
They kept upping it until nobody was banned.
Ok, full disclosure, I have no clue... however, this is basically what they do with scammers. If they are over 95% certain that one of their advertisers is a scam, they simply charge them more money for the assist to scam people
Meta is evil in digital form
If you’re in IT 16 is a nice round number.
More like a nice square number 😏
It’s 2^4 so a hypercubed number 🤓
Wait till you hear about the strike thresholds for fraud:
Per Meta's own policies, a "High Value Account" (one that spends a lot on fraudulent ads) has to accrue more than 500 "strikes" (adjudicated violations of Meta policies) before the company will take down the account.
“The full record will show that for over a decade, we have listened to parents, researched issues that matter most, and made real changes to protect teens ..."
All right. Show it.
They can just bribe president poopy pants and all will be forgiven.
The Onion could have written this article, but would have picked a lower number. 17 strikes is too implausible.
