I really hate to phrase it like this, but i don't see another way...
if a FAANG employee would be considered dumb when signing up for this... how can this not have crossed OPs mind when spending his/her time building this platform (as an ex-FAANG)?
- mike_d 2y ago> how can this not have crossed OPs mind when spending his/her time building this platform You mean the two engineers on loan to the global investigations team at $techcompany?
- endofreach 2y agoI'd think they would make this offer seem less sketchy... facebook & co know better than anyone how to make bad & evil stuff sound desirable. It's in their DNA. If this was actually a honeypot, i would have thought it would seem less like a "sign up for your own lawsuit"-form kinda site. Maybe they use the same technique as the "prince of nigeria" kind of emails & porn ads being made so bad on purpose, to cater to a specific target group... but i just never fully understood how this kind of stuff works out better than... just actually making something better...
- BoorishBears 2y agoI'm surprised no one has considered that this is a way to get people talking more than it is a way to get accounts unsuspended...
- endofreach 2y agoI didn't consider it because i couldn't think of what it would be that they want people to talk about. What do you think about? Who made this for achieving what?
- BoorishBears 2y agoCan you really say this after it generated 400 comments on the topic amongst the people closest to the issue?
