So the answer is this will never be fixed? Just a big RegExp essentially, is the path to avoid $250k per fines? A Persian friend was craving his mother’s cooking, so we went to a restaurant which he Venmo’d me for and we got a stupid flag because his note said “Iranian”. That’s borderline culturally inappropriate considering these companies have a long history of all our other good-standing transactions, they already have massive data from third-parties they purchase from about our offline identities, they have our geolocations whether we like it or not. There is a vast asymmetry of information between these companies and the public they service. They have the advantage, so why not apply that advantage to not flag a small-charge restaurant outing in one of the country’s most well educated neighborhoods, and use something more sophisticated than a silly-string dictionary lookup to determine when to flag.
