I don't know, but it sounds like the issue was resolved (correctly or incorrectly) the first time, so the user started filing a ton of issues, which were automatically marked as duplicate. Now he's spamming the white hat security form (https://twitter.com/dannyjhall/status/1310231761444581385), which is not likely to get him a response.

“Spamming?” If repeated complaints about an issue the company won’t resolve is what we call spam now, I’m speechless.

Spamming the white hat security bug program won't get him an answer, because he's not reporting a security flaw.

I don't understand how he is 'spamming'.

He is a “free” user, what duty does Facebook owe him?

Ah yes sure you don’t pay Google a dime, so don’t you worry if you lose your account tomorrow, it’s not like anything is owed to you. Say bye to [email protected]

Not sure what your point is because that’s happened to people and they have no recourse.

That being the status quo doesn’t make it acceptable?

Are we talking legal duty or “not being an asshole” duty? I’d argue it’s at least the latter, where the case should be pretty clear.
