Facebook can ban you for two hundred, Fifty THOUSANDS years
No, not really that long. But it’s too stupid anyway.
About one week ago, it looks like Facebook has had enough of a colleague of mine “telling people in groups that they are wrong”.
So they blocked him for much, much, much longer than planet Krypton’s most notorious criminals:
“two hundred nineteen thousand years and then some”
Artificial Intelligence, this is not. Yes, surely this particular “ban” is just a programming error. Still, the worst part is the mere thought that Facebook may still be around, in a quarter of an eon.
