Facebook sucks and I never use them. That being said, Facebook moderators who manually review reports are routinely traumatized and diagnosed with PTSD, and Facebook catches fire for that.
So I don't see how this can go both ways. How can we ask Facebook to automate this system and flame them for it not being thorough enough, and then simultaneously flame them for implementing the thorough system of human review? As much as the company sucks, this seems like a no win scenario that isn't fair even to a reasonable company.
- mulmen 5y agoSounds like Facebook is more trouble than it’s worth.
- rocqua 5y agoMight there be an option of 'put money down, demand a review before arbitrage, get your money back if you win' solution? The money should filter out spammers. The price should cover the actual costs to defend against DOS. The biggest issue would be that bad actors could get insight into how Facebook detects. But maybe more openness here would be good!
- CamelCaseName 5y agoI feel like scammers would just put in stolen credit cards, then FB would get hit with fraudulent charges.
- alpha_squared 5y agoI don't think this should be automated, but I also think there aren't enough resources provided for moderation. It's a thankless job that requires supporting resources (like therapy). However, it's treated purely as a cost-center to optimize.
- rapind 5y agoSounds like an unsustainable business model. Why should we care? Set the rules / laws that are good for society at large and let them figure out how to make a profit or fail IMO. When it comes to big tech I keep seeing people try to solve their problems for them. We should just legislate. If they can’t make it work someone else will fill the gaps.
