Users here will believe any conspiracy theory so that's not really a high bar. I'm serious. There was that massive 2000 comment thread the other month about some big company doing something evil and then it turned out they didn't do it. Everyone who was right and informed in the original thread was greyed out by users here.
Maybe that’s because 90% of the time it turns out the company did do it? I’d be interested in knowing what thread that was though.

So are you asking for screenshots from my email of the thread where everyone came together to agree on the terms and execution of the conspiracy, or? Also, sarcasm isn’t an emotion. I’m English, so perhaps consider that my culture of challenging someone is different from yours before projecting whatever big bad horrible emotional troll hurt your feelings once. Facebook is literally more employees than even populate t…
In your estimation, what percentage of Facebook employees know about such extremely well known schemes?
This is openly discussed with bemusement on my non-Instagram team is what I can say.

#155There's no evidence to back the user's claims. This sounds like "Hey my dad works at Xbox and will ban you". There are other ways to compromise an Instagram account, like sim swapping ( https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/05/t-mobile-employee-made-u... )

#156It's part of ToS you can lose your account at any time for any reason. And it's their first rule.
And yet, that rule is stupid. But your logic instagram could just give @kyliejenner to some random person, and you think she would have no recourse? You think it would be acceptable for someone at instagram to do Kylie Jenner a personal favor and give her `@kylie`, and the person who currently has it should have no recourse? Kylie is just an example person with a larger following; I'm not implying that this happened,…
Doesn't matter. They can still do it to anyone anyway.
> But your logic instagram could just give @kyliejenner to some random person, and you think she would have no recourse?
Well yes. They (Facebook) own the platform, it's a privately owned company and they can do whatever they like either via the ToS or in general. You don't own your account handle. They reserve the right to terminate your account or disable the handle at any time.

There is some evidence of some kind of takeover though. Searching for site: http://instagram.com/danny in google, the first result is the following: Danny (@danny) • Instagram photos and videos www.instagram.com › danny 8690 Followers, 134 Following, 100 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Danny (@danny) This is still in Google's cache. The current instagram profile is very different.
That’s...not evidence of a facebook employee being implicated. It’s actually not even evidence that the account even swapped hands!
The account messaged and said a facebook employee was involved. It isn't proof, it isn't strong evidence, but it is evidence and an implication that a facebook employee was involved.
> It’s actually not even evidence that the account even swapped hands!
Similarly the change in account usage pattern isn't proof but it is evidence.

Which I'd assume will be filled with alt-right and similar content (banned from other platforms usually for good reason), anime avatars and a liberal dose of poor taste (and potentially illegal in certain jurisdictions) content such as "lolicon". None of this is something most people want to be anywhere near. While mainstream social media has many flaws, at least I am grateful for the fact that it bans, discourages o…
Ask for censorship and you will reap the controlled and powerless society that you have sowed.
