I was reminded of that, but then realized that reviewing ads is not the same as raw content moderation. It’ll still have some shitty moments, but it’s not the same as being forced to watch snuff videos.

There is absolutely no excuse for such an immensely profitable company to not have a team of humans reviewing ads.

I’m kinda curious about the stooges who did these things. Who would be stupid enough to commit crimes on behalf of a company? Did they seriously expect the company to go to bat for them if things went bad? They must have been drinking a LOT of eBay Kool Aid.

I’ve seen so many stories about leaks that I skip most of them. I’m glad I didn’t skip this one.

Most of the time, I don’t care about corporate slap fights, but this will be fun to watch.

It’s easy (and encouraged!) to dunk on Trump for all the human rights abuses and excessive use of lethal force, but the amount of “soft power” he’s given up is truly staggering. Previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, spent decades building up quiet US influence around the world, and he’s destroying it like a toddler knocking over wooden blocks.
