Friend Verifier

Formerly let you scan Facebook friends/requests for registered sex offenders until @Meta shut us down. Zuck - Sucks!

[Friend Verifier @Friendverifier]

Calling this a victory is naive. @finkd killed our app that let users scan friends & requests for registered sex offenders to protect HIS platform. When media praised our work, he chose to crush us instead of collaborating. This is a business move, not a “come to Jesus” moment.

Why are companies like Disney choosing to advertise on Meta platforms but not on the 𝕏 platform?

Today is the 9th anniversary of Zuckerberg canceling the original version of @Friendverifier. Apparently @Meta didn’t like a free app that let you scan your friends & friend requests for registered sex offenders.

With Zuckerberg's testimony in congress right now, let's not forget the OG version of #FriendVerifier, he pulled the plug on. 10 years ago, for free, we gave parents & kids the ability to scan friends & requests for Sex Offenders @SenTedCruz @HawleyMO https://t.co/fhriOK3R32

Lingo Lesson:
Serendipidating
This term combines the concepts of "if it's meant to be" with "the grass is always greener." So, serendipidating means you are putting off a date just in case someone better comes along. #FriendVerifier

Lingo Lesson:
Breadcrumbing

The modern-day vernacular of "stringing you along." Lots of texts, calls, and even plan-making, but the person really has no intention of following through. #FriendVerifier
