    I found this morsel particularly poignant:

    "Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.

    “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

    Not like meta has a long history of ignoring obvious, enormous problems theyre causing that experts keep pleading with them to take seriously. Like in Myanmar. Where it has killed an enormous number of people and the death toll keeps rising.

    I’m sure they’ll do something this time

    Also, it will introduce: snitchonomics.

    Mass surveillance is here, but what if you could be an annoying little shit in the local community? Introducing: snitchonomics. Go around your neighborhood, discover discrepancies, automate your snitching and become a toadie for the local commissars.

      Just add an arbitrary point system like they give reviewers on Google Maps and people will be beating down the door to do this.

    I was really interested in who the pervert experts were, but it turns out it was just human rights groups.
