New transparency reports and leaked guidelines reveal Meta’s AI enforces 154M quarterly actions (suspensions/deletions), extrapolating to:

500,000+ accounts removed daily

1.5–3M permanent deletions monthly

10–15% error rate (50K+ families locked out/day)

Sources:

Meta Q3 2023 Transparency Report

Scaled 2017 moderation leaks (2024 userbase)

NYU research on wrongful suspensions

Discussion: Is this digital preservation’s extinction event? Are error rates acceptable for scale?

I would LOVE for Meta to wipe my account. They’re not a file server.

As a Jew, I take great issue with calling this a "Holocaust" as not only is it inaccurate, it diminishes the meaning of the word for describing the state-sponsored murder of 6m+ Jews alone—and that's without even getting into the Romani Holocaust, disabled, gay community et al who were also murdered.
