The US car deaths stat is also completely insane and way higher than other countries. I can recognize that at scale, securing every account is a very difficult task, but with scale comes responsibility.

Meta plays fast and loose rushing in unsupervised vibeslop agents to save a penny. They should be significantly penalized for such a massive failure, particularly for how long this exploit was live and for how the victims were unable to get in contact with any human at Meta to restore their account.

You must live in Monaco.

Wikipedia has the United States #80.

Wikipedia has the United States #80.

Where do you see that? With 14.2/100K the US comes in at 111/190

Order by deaths per inhabitant and it is 80.
Sure, but #80 out of 190, still not great ain’t it?
Not great, not exactly what “completely insane and way higher than other countries” evokes either.
It's about average.
1.2M car-related deaths worldwide every year. WW1 worth every decade.
