I would perceive a life ban from Zuckerberg a badge of honor. Congrats to this person!

Personally, would have just open sourced the project. Then Zuck would have to spend engineering time (and employ more people) to “combat” these types of usability hacks which reduce their bottom line.

Similar to how YouTube is in a perpetual battle with the entire world over ad blocking on the platform.

Personally, I just stopped using FB/IG all together. Much happier. And relationships are much more meaningful. No more filters/ai/thinly veiled bullshit/“curated ads”.

I'm sure University of Neuchâtel would be appreciative if you actually did.

Unfortunately, it's not from Zuckerberg, it's from some underpaid, Third World content moderator churning through posts and accounts with only the most minimal of thought.

Indeed, why doesn't this guy just open source it. The community will take care of it staying available.
