I’m sure that some people made some mistake. I accept that. But I can’t accept handing out life bans for mistakes made. That’s not a town square should work. Sure we could use a different advertising platform but there aren’t that many.
I noticed the ban, and then didn't do anything about it for one year.
I don't think that it's a sob story at all. I think that it's (a) incredibly funny that they would make such a mistake, (b) a combination of bad UI and bad service on Meta's part, and (c) crazy that even three Meta employees cannot undo such a ban.
So yes: It was my fault that I didn't notice or care faster. And sure, you can call this a sob story. But I think that beyond my personal experience and issues here, this points to some deeper problems with Meta, as well as other large companies that depend on AI.
sorry what?
human review should always be able to override an automatic decision. in fact, in the EU automatic decisions are actually illegal if they affect a persons life.
reuven is not asking for any of his friends at meta to be able to override the ban directly, but they should be able to escalate the case to a person or a team that actually is able to verify the claims and remove the ban.
the fact that this is not possible is both hilarious and sad.
please try to read comments as being made in good faith instead of assuming the worst possible interpretation.
