People You May Want to Forget
summary
Facebook Messenger rolls out call log and SMS integration that scans years of calls and texts and then surfaces people to message; the algorithm recommends a past abuser, triggering PTSD and panic during work. The feature ships opt-in by default with opaque permissions that mention technical risk but not emotional harm. Citing RAINN’s one‑in‑six statistic, the talk demands concrete fixes: explicit opt‑in, plain warnings about potential triggers, and avoiding Privacy Zuckering so software doesn’t make painful choices for people.
