And when Azealia Banks spends *her* time harassing other celebs, including Madonna, what percentage of the population is that, I wonder? Before removing the speck of dust in your neighbor’s eye, consider the beam in your own.

If not for work/professional reasons, I would have committed Facebook suicide years ago. Now I’m locked out of my account… After a hacking incident in 2023, I was only able to log back in for three days before my computer rebooted and ended my session. I have not been able to log in successfully since then. I wanted to reset my password, but I can’t because the hackers changed it, so I don’t know what it is. Meta is completely unhelpful with this whole situation. Very frustrating. So … yeah. I would love to have nothing more to do with them. Just slightly unsettling to know that my account is still vulnerable out there and I have no access to it. I eventually had to open up another account (which is against their terms — to have more than one account) just to be able to do my job (serving as the administrator of the official FB presence for my work). At one point, a Meta service bot told me they had reviewed my work’s ad account and said that their investigation revealed “no suspicious activity.” Meanwhile, they had required me to record and submit a video through a platform — it ended up being between 15 and 20 minutes, and to this day, no one ever watched it. Maddening. They have no incentive to crack down on actual crime — because it just makes them more money. The FBI agent with whom I spoke (because I was referred by the police, with whom I had to file a report) was very critical of Meta because of their lack of cooperation with law enforcement. (I don’t have an app on my phone, either, pithy … I only use it on a computer/laptop through a web browser.)
