   Phenomenally based.

   tl;dr: Facebook trying to save money by not having human reviews of bans is about to cost them $50k for a false positive.

   And they likely would not have lost if they.... Responded to the lolsuit.

     True, and enforcing judgements is difficult.

     What's funny is that I outright made fun of a guy I know for talking about suing Facebook for suspending him for a month for making death threats.

     Obviously these cases are way different, but Facebook just ignoring summons changes the calculus quite a bit

     @r000t They can just do that? Ignore a court decision and not pay anything?

     I feel like this ends with them sending a lawyer and saying "oh man we had no idea, we get so many horseshit pro se lawsuits all the time and we just ignore those, let us have another go at it" and they'll get it.

     What will be absolutely hilarious is if the judge tacks on punitive damages for ignoring a judgment and eventually dude gets to fucking garnish Facebook

     It’s just not worth the trouble. Best case he ends up with some used office furniture if he spends a ton of money fighting for it.

     Well, 50k is enough to get into federal court, so he’d have to bring it to trial and spend a minimum of 20k to do it. And fb knows he ABSOLUTELY will not do that over being blocked.
     
     So unfortunately - they can kinda just say fuck him. Lol
     
     If he was smart he might be able to get a mechanics lien approved and if they have an office in his state he could foreclose on the office. But idk - that’s hoops to jump through too.

     @coin @Tony @InceptionState @bot Again, I'd just start unracking servers until I hit 50k. So that's like 5-20 servers depending on how decked out they are

     They’re not going to give you access to areas with controlled access. The sheriff isn’t there to break down doors or anything lol. It’s not going to happen.

     @r000t @InceptionState @Tony @bot I imagine those game shows where they give contestants time to run through a store and grab all they can get in the allotted time. Only just in a Meta office.

     @coin @r000t @Tony @bot They apparently have an office in Atlanta, so he could get an order to start seizing their stuff if they don't pay up. There was a pretty funny story of a guy doing something like that to a bank during the financial crisis.
     
     > On June 3, Nyerges, two sheriff's deputies and a moving truck showed up at the local BofA branch. The deputies informed the manager that he could either pay the Nyerges' legal fees— $2,500—or the movers would start taking away the bank's furniture and cash. The manager, after conferring with his superiors, gave the deputies a check.

     @InceptionState @coin @Tony @bot That's so fucking based.

     Shit's not quite "real" until someone you owe money to shows up with two sheriff's deputies, a u-haul, and a court order authorizing a shopping spree

     Funniest post you’ve made tbh lol. But ya it’s like, why do you think the bofa guy walked away with used office furniture instead of walking to the vault and getting cash? News flash, they’re not going to let you in.

     Oh you’re right, I didn’t read the article. Either way, there’s a zero percent chance they would’ve forced entry into their vault.

     @bot @coin @Tony @InceptionState The bofa guy was cut a check. He more or less got money out of the vault, just electronically.

     At the end of the day, bofa owed him $2,500 (lmao) and when the sheriff's office showed up with dude and a moving van, they cut him a check.
