What is this "cross-platform surveillance"? How does DoorDash know that they're a sex worker, and why do they care?

- viro 5y agoI bet you it had something to do with doordash gift cards from clients/viewers, which would trigger fraud "stuff".
- joshcryer 5y agoMore likely she had clients simply deliver food to her place, lots of different clients at the same location, it would send red flags to the fraud detection algorithms. Rather than have a system in place asking clients if they chose that delivery they just silently ban the address. (Yes, I read the thread and how she had the food sent to another place, that could've been the triggering event for the algorithm.) She should just list her place on AirBnB and it would probably be sorted.
- vineyardmike 5y agoMy guess is they have some list of addresses/numbers that are banned (supposedly due to high fraud risk etc) that they just buy from another company instead of building themselves. The OP said they tried to deliver to a brothel so that could be a banned address.
- ajford 5y agoerm... a hostel [0] is NOT a brothel [1]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostel [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothel

- joshcryer 5y agoAlso hostels being cheap dorm like hotels will have serious delivery traffic, they wouldn't ban a hostel.
