Employees offered suggestions to reduce risks of misuse of subscription accounts featuring minors. Meta took another approach and says its programs are well monitored.
Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.
That sounds on brand as hell for Meta.
META: Like cancer for the Internet.
Meta should release a product called Static. Because that company is a fucking metastatic cancer.
IMHO the staff is corrupt. Why? I have seen crooks with verified and unverified accounts advertised scam schemes involving several multi billion companies in Turkey for weeks.
It included AI generated famous people advertising stocks, fake video ads, blatant logo piracy. These things can be detected with personal computer AI let alone Facebook’s gigantic system.
Every single report binned, bounced. I know the multi billion/trillion system, whatever feedback sent to a brand will also reach continent and main HQs no matter what. For example, send feedback about a Starbucks Ankara, it will find its way to Seattle too. So, it seems there is a well established gang inside company who made millions or even tens of millions.
Just like CP, this is a very risky job. A multi billion energy company isn’t a force to mess with, they have endless amounts of cash, lawyers and at the last resort “guys” who they can call.
Same happened with me but on YouTube! Reported an ad that was pretending to be fox news or something, led to a website pretending to be another news site that linked to a fake shell (the oil company) site to get your credit card information. Despite going very in depth about the scam “everything was fine”.
So, I understand, in theory, the premise that there are people under 18 who people have perfectly above board reasons to subscribe to for normal content.
But that’s creepy as hell and if you have evidence that it’s more than an isolated incident you need to shut that shit down until you can be extremely confident it won’t happen again.
Color me surprised /s
I’m no fan of meta, but I’m so used to seeing “but the children” get thrown about as a power play that I’m actually less inclined to believe Meta did anything wrong. Or at least any worse than expected.
Fuck off incel
Oh wow. Jumping straight to the ad hominems, are we? I usually only get that from people who really want to be right and don’t know how.
