AIs and other opaque processes making decisions are incredibly frustrating. I'm still wondering why my tea-of-the-month business [0] got turned down by Stripe when I incorporated an LLC (technically a Godo Kaisha, as it is incorporated in Japan). It came as a surprise as it was perfectly fine by them for as long as it was a sole proprietorship. Which is why I strongly suspect the rejection came from an AI. At the tim…

> when I incorporated an LLC

An LLC can’t be incorporated.

If you say you had an Inc when you had an LLC is a good cause of rejection.

Don't need for book references, that is how it is today in many countries, and it has been always in less democratic societies.

Yeah! How dare they, referencing literature.

Your sarcasm has been noted and recorded.

Maybe their AI found https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-2635049 Godo Kaisha Seigi Ya 1 (Young Animal Comics) and decided Japanese mangas are off-limits for stripe.

90% of these posts are just sob stories because they fucked up and he fucked up at least with "waiting a year". Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Yeah, it's totally my fault that I didn't jump right away to find out why I had been banned from an advertising platform, when I'm running a one-person business and hadn't been advertising for several years.

The whole issue around not telling you what rule you broke "because then you might work around it" is total BS. It's like a company I complained to the other day because they didn't label one of the inputs on their password reset form because "it would help a hacker know what to type in it" (it was the password reset password they expected but you wouldn't know). How much quicker would this be resolved if the first A…

You do not possess sovereign rights on digital platforms. I am curious about how much time it will take for the entirety of humanity to recognize that we are currently inhabiting a digital medieval era.

"digital medieval era" - this is a frighteningly precise characteristic.

Perhaps you're not allowed to use Facebook for selling animals. Which would be sensible IMO

Selling pets should be fine?

Just as long as you're not selling pandas, which is what the AI thought he was doing

I mean who cares. Some website blocked some person from spending money on advertising on their platform. This person who already has their own website and a lot of means to propagate whatever they wish and conduct business on the Internet in many other ways. It happens all , the , time . Also this non-sense is repetitive here, with nothing new to add, nothing technical, nothing intersting. Just useless filler content…

According to Statista, Facebook is approximately 1/5 of all global ad revenue. That's not just "some website".
