I recently reported a hate speech targeted at Indian minority (not Muslim). The text literally had gen$c!d3 threats and other usual trigger words in it, and there were like copy paste of same post in thousands (probably a campaign). Facebook replied "does not violate their conditions blah blah".

Just curious, why did you write “gen$c!d3”? The options I can think of are:

1. You’re worried that a script on HN will delete your comment, similar to how this seems to work on YouTube

2. You’re censoring that word to avoid “triggering” people

3. You’re copying verbatim an excerpt from the hate speech you’re referencing

I’m asking in earnest; I honestly don’t know which of those three (or any other option?) it is.

People are hardwired to censor some words like that (like cov!d) precisely because of 1

I guess it very much depends on the minority in question, FB like the government only responds to "mi orities" with street veto or global muscle power.

The reports are useless. I guess the reviewers have to achieve some KPI and have to just click past reports to have a chance.

You want to decrease volume? In windows 10 it was 2 clicks, now it's 3 also you have to locate the slider because there are more than one slider in that area now.

Yes, I distinctly remember a single click followed by scrollwheel. Now the wheel does nothing.

By Indian state you mean the federal govt. States have their own official languages.

They meant “state” in the general sense, not the particular sense of the federated entities of India, USA, Australia etc.

Could you please explain the process of collecting these names?

I did not have facebook account and created one recently. Everyone whom I added was not in US and was not remotely connected to US politics but for some reasons facebook thought I would like "Briertbart" and some anti vaxx related pages and posts. Keep in mind that I have no messages sent and other info and use facebook inside a mozilla container, one top of that I am not even anti vaxxer. But still they promoted all those things to me.

They aren't naïve at all, you are naïve. India's decline in democracy index is not an accident.

Any chance of getting Lineage OS support for the Poco X3?

Stupid question: how did you reverse the app in Android Studio?

I downloaded the APK and then used "Profile or Debug APK" under file in Android Studio and ctrl/cmd+shift+f to search for strings.

I don't know much about Android development or APKs but it's not exactly "reversing." from what I understand the profile/debug converts the .dex files from the APK to .smali which is human readable.

You can use the "Analyse APK" feature, but you probably rather want to use tools like jadx or apktool that provides fairly good decompilation.

Most of the procrastination is on Wednesday. Do you work on weekends and take a day off on Wednesdays?

They tried similar thing in India and it was shutdown because it violated net neutrality laws.
