This is nonsense.

It is obvious to me that any bad PR is orders of magnitude worse for the business than the potential benefit of having even hundreds of thousands of criminals "engaging" on the platform.

If bad PR was a problem surely you can start by actually actioning reports on obvious cybercrime pages instead of saying that they "reviewed my reports but that none of the groups were found to have violated its standards".

I stand by my argument. That disgusting company doesn't care about crime and malicious activity because it's cheaper to let it happen and simply clean up the few PR incidents with some lies which people (such as you) will happily believe.

Look, it's clear you don't like Meta. Frankly neither do I. But the reality is that the article at the URL that you linked in your original comments contains evidence that supports my point that PR is all that matters.

Namely: "KrebsOnSecurity later found that reporting the abusive Facebook groups to a quarter-million followers on Twitter was the fastest way to get them disabled."

Frankly it does seem that you don't appear to have read or understood the information presented in the link you posted.
