Why won't Meta do anything about the "I can't believe he's gone" scams?

Try searching for a type of food that has a place in it's name, like "Nashville hot chicken". It'll either center the map on Nashville, TN, and show you results for "hot chicken", or sometimes will zoom all the way out and show you results for "hot chicken" in both where the map was originally centered and in Nashville, TN.

I've found that it does have some issues with the number 4096 though...

Randomly mousing over it I noticed "Trunks hair" (#9b5fc0) and had to look it up to be sure I wasn't crazy...

I feel like Raymond Chen [0] might be a good place to start.

>Social media sites should give users an explicit lever to see political content or not

Facebook does sorta have this, under Settings & Privacy > Content Preferences > Manage defaults. Note that the only options for "Political content" are "Show more" and "Default". The other categories listed also include "Show less". There is no "off" option for any of the categories.

That's on you for adding NSFW* content to your app.

Bots used to just take other popular comments and repost them either in whole copies of threads, as in the example here, or taking a top comment in a new thread and reposting it elsewhere in the same thread. Now they're using LLMs to rephrase comments to try to avoid detection (though they often come across sounding a bit off so they're sometimes easy to spot).

I've edited the title to more accurately reflect the point I'm trying to get across.

Ok, some questions:

Where do these posts show up for the page owners, in case they want to delete them? (Or in case these posts were posted to their account without their knowledge because their account was compromised)

Why isn't Facebook doing anything to combat cases where users accounts are posting obvious compromising content to their accounts in a way that should be easily detectable and prevented?

Personal anecdote: A few years back I left my car at a dealership for some warranty work that was going to take a few days. It has a soft top and they left it in their gated lot overnight, where it got broken into (slashed the top, ripped open the glove box, stole a cheap machete I got from a white elephant exchange). They claimed that they weren't liable at all since I signed a waiver and should go through my own insurance. After a little push back, they caved and covered it under their insurance like they should have from the beginning. I don't go to that dealership for anything anymore, for that and other reasons.

You can say anything as long as you add a footnote saying "This is not intended as a threat" apparently.

They also think their voter information was "leaked" when they registered to vote, so it doesn't sound like they're very civically informed...
