Three Strikes Laws Are Bad. So Is This. 

The careless people of Facebook continue to be the worst.

Though the baseball season is over, we can still sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”. Come on, you know the words:

🎶 For it’s one…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine…ten…eleven…twelve…thirteen…fourteen…fifteen…sixteen…seventeen strikes you’re out 🎶

That’s apparently how they do it at Facebook, anyhow, where at least one violation required seventeen strikes before an account would be suspended. That might sound ridiculous, but we shouldn’t be hasty. Perhaps a bit of leniency was called for. Perhaps the violation in question was some trivial offense. After sixteen strikes, I’m sure bad actors will straighten up and stop <checks notes> trafficking humans for sex.
