    Corporations must be held accountable for the scams that are posted/boosted on their platforms. If they profit off it, they must be liable for letting it go public.

    I suspect a TV channel in any civilized place would avoid showing an advert for an obvious scam (the fake AI celebrity endorsement) because that would, at least, destroy their reputation, or even get sued for not vetting the content.

    {people susceptible to facebook scams} ∩ {people who use adblockers} = Ø

    Edit: Sorry for using the wrong 0. Apparently there isn´t a separate unicode for zero-with-a-slash-through-it, it’s just zero, and you have to find a font that puts a slash in.

      ∅ EMPTY SET (U+2205)

      The key is to find the one in the “mathematical operators” section, not some accented O character.

          No, not quite correct. The character pasted off the Swedish page was Ø LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE (U+00D8).

          It looks almost identical to the to the mathematical symbol for an empty set (at least in the font I’m using right now), but it doesn’t mean anything even slightly similar and would be rendered entirely differently by, for example, a screen reader reading the text aloud.
