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..........

Jesus fuck, even 3-strikes would be absurd for this...
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
18 is too many ~~years~~ chances.
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,”
Wait but that changes everything? Sex work doesn't automatically mean sex trafficking??
Yeah, to me it's muddy waters. While some people look down on it, if an adult posts something that says free Saturday night, hit me up for a price... That's not anywhere near trafficking. But it is very much solicitation.
Yeah, but the title says only sex trafficking
It appears that the article and possibly the site is just ragebait bs.
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
Unless they have to drive to you during rush hour. Then it's sex work with traffic.
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…
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.
That seems like 17 strikes too many.
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
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.
Lol other places ban for the suspicious activity of .... being on a VPN
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.
"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.
