“There is a phone number for Meta online. When CBC called it, an automated recording said, ‘Please note that we are unable to provide telephone support at this time,’ and directed callers to meta.com/help.”

Mealy-mouthed corporate lying horeshit.

They are able, just unwilling.

If free-market libertarianism is as great as the tech bros want us to think, why do companies lie so much and so often despite the need for participants in the market to be correctly and full informed so they can make rational decisions?
