Unsurprising given it’s been an open secret for over a decade that Meta employees will (if you have the right contacts or amount of money), orchestrate banning or seizing long-standing active accounts with desirable usernames and giving them to their friends or the highest bidder.

- transcriptase 1y agoHere’s one of many articles about the phenomenon: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/11/17/meta-disciplined-or-fired-employees-for-taking-over-user-accounts-wsj.html https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/11/17/meta-disciplined-or-fire... A related scheme is the existence of brokers who will, for a fee, recover banned or locked accounts. User pays the broker $X, broker pays their contact at Meta $Y, and using internal tooling suddenly a ban or suspension that would normally put someone in an endless loop of automated vague bullshit responses gets restored.
