You wake up, grab your phone, and see the notification that ruins your whole week. “We removed your post because it goes against our Community Guidelines.” Or worse, you can’t log in at all.

It usually happens on a Friday afternoon. You are finishing up work. You open an email attachment that looks like an invoice or a shipping notification.
