Has anyone taken time to enumerate how dangerous this new Facebook feature is?

If not I’ll take a whack, but if it’s already been covered I’m happy to syndicate 😁

@jjg I think it could have dangerous aspects. It depends on who the "first responders" are. Also this same type of system could be used to have "first responders" go after dissidents.

@bob that was the first risk that occurred to me. In the US those responders are often cops, and if they are responding to a call like this, they can enter and search your home w/o a warrant.

@jjg Oh man, we really should not want Facebook to be our "machines of loving grace" here. And I hesitate to think about who are the "first responders" to most situations like that here in the US. AI instigated swatting...

@jjg
The joking response is "looking forward to the cops kicking down the door of ironic edgy losers posting about nooses".

I don't like Facebook trying to guess people's mental state, because first responders aside they will sell your crises to the first group to wave enough funds in their face.
