I yearn for Local on the 8's

they really went out of their way to include as many "Why" sections and links as possible without saying a single word about why.

Same. I don't really understand the output.

haven’t they claimed that their “AI” catches 99% of spam before it gets seen or something? seems like there’s even lower hanging fruit or they’re just lying.


I would bet money Facebook does very little fraudulent advertising filtering, since they are explicitly incentivized not to.

But "We block 99% of fraud/spam" is an outright useless and purposefully non-informative datapoint. It doesn't tell you anything. As a statement, it is equally true both for the SuperGoodMerchant who lets through a single fraudulent advertisement a year, and it is also true for UltraScamAds who let through a million scam ads a day. It depends entirely on the rate of fraud attempts compared to the rate of legitimate requests.

An actual useful metric if you want to avoid fraud or scams would be, what percentage of ads do they run that turn out to be fraudulent?

My anecdotal experience is like 95%.


a lot of companies can [afford to]. most don't.


I wonder how much time HE spends with his algorithms every day

Don't know about him, but I understand he tightly shields his own kids from social media use.


Maybe a lot, but he enjoys the IF user == "zuck" THEN statements in the code.


the problem is that when you ask a ChatBot something, it always gives you an answer...


because HOA’s ban them. just like my former HOA banned drying laundry on the balcony while raising rates for the coin operated dryers…


Agree, super ironic that they’re apparently called “Social Proof” haha
