Yeah it's pretty jarring to have this suddenly stare you down while trying to read.

This is what happened to my browser immediately after clicking that link, closing it, and opening a new window.

I don’t understand why this was flagged. My thinking in sharing a screenshot was that these kinds of sites often show different things to different people (e.g. by locale, browser size, session history, etc.) so it would be helpful to document the context of the parent comment.

That the modal comes across so poorly suggests a naivety on the part of Facebook that is relevant to understanding the announcement.
