    Great name

      Yes, the name is absolutely a genius move.

      I would bet my money that there's a dozen lawyers at work, right now, in Meta's HQ, to get a sense of what options they have to harass, shut down, or do something else to the creator of this app. And I would also bet that Zuck is furious about it.

        At least one lawyer looking at it? Sure, maybe. But this is probably not even registering on Zuck's radar

          You'd be surprised. They banned Christopher Wylie from Facebook. People routinely report their entire team (building some product for Facebook) getting their accounts banned

          Zuckerberg takes things personally. It's his entire history

          I can't claim to know more than you; but I think I know enough about corporate america and Meta and Zuck that the idea of multiple lawyers, instead of just one, is at least plausible.

          He's extremely petty and fhin skinned. Remember the seat booster?

        Somewhere deep in the central European woods, a lonely dev fights for his life, against a dead man switch. Accidentally, a NATO drone flattened his house into glass a week ago. Now, he evades drones, rabid lawyers, train accidents, Starlink honey traps, sudden internet blackouts of unknown origin, regular honey traps, poisoned whiskey, social media bans and dowvotes ...

        ... if you can find him, you can hire him, and restore privacy and sanity to your apps. he is ... the ZuckOff dev.-

        I&#x27;m guessing it&#x27;s not even aware of it. The billionaires all live in their own reality.
