I mean, you can have a little socialism without going full communism. Come on, just a little.

I had all white walls in my apartment when I moved in. The landlord always paints them all white before someone moves in.

I get why they do it, and it was easy to paint over, but if you keep them white like that it's gotta be so depressive. It looks so stale, and boring.

good for you, I would rather forget most strange reddit-memes/references like that one but they are back there in some corner of my mind nontheless

The title made me think of the old Reddit-phrase "when does the narwhal bacon", but it would be "when does the landlord labour" in this case

This has been known for a while, there was an article published a couple of months back that exposed some internal documents from Meta. They know about these scams, but they make much more money from selling the adspaces to these scammers than the fines cost them if they get sued/caught. It's a calculated venture they happily keep up.

The documents note that Meta plans to try to cut the share of Facebook and Instagram revenue derived from scam ads. In the meantime, Meta has internally acknowledged that regulatory fines for scam ads are certain, and anticipates penalties of up to $1 billion, according to one internal document.

But those fines would be much smaller than Meta’s revenue from scam ads, a separate document from November 2024 states. Every six months, Meta earns $3.5 billion from just the portion of scam ads that “present higher legal risk,” the document says, such as those falsely claiming to represent a consumer brand or public figure or demonstrating other signs of deceit. That figure almost certainly exceeds “the cost of any regulatory settlement involving scam ads.”

Rather than voluntarily agreeing to do more to vet advertisers, the same document states, the company’s leadership decided to act only in response to impending regulatory action.
