MODERATORS
Looks like they used an automatic thesaurus to cover plagiarism.
Or wrote it in a different language and used Google Translate.
"Big Brother"
-Generic, gendered, outdated
❌
"Enormous Sibling"
-Descriptive, gender neutral, unconventional
✅
I propose we call meta and other snoopy mega corps "Mega Sibling".
Elf on the shelf sees all.
