Thanks for the inline image! I agree, AI upscalers are iffy at best and really should not be used for this kind of reporting.

After doing a little search, I found this https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/slain-transgender-man-sam-nordquist-was-tortured-for-weeks-police-say-5-people-arrested/ar-AA1z8gCb

It's the same image but pretty blurry. It looks like AP News used some AI upscaling or deblurring to filter it into something resembling a higher res picture.

You would have to recalibrate your interactions, or you'd be breaking things and people constantly.

I used three Meta products:

Whatsapp, Facebook Marketplace, and Instagram. I've completely gone off Insta, I only really used it to see posts and reels my friends sent me.

I don't really know an alternative to WhatsApp and Marketplace that I can use. I'm very careful to not interact with any Facebook advertisements on Marketplace though.
