Even putting aside the legal risk, just one or two of those celebrities loudly complaining and it will do brand damage more severe than the value of your entire feature. And they obviously would, because it's "flirty" so duh. Like you have to be actively stupid to make this product.

Right. This isn't one of those types of casually evil things like doing something antisocial and making off like bandits from it. It's one of those casually evil things like shooting yourself in the knees at 2am in order to wake your neighbors

This is the legal equivalent of climbing your own steeple during a thunderstorm and pointing at the sky, daring god to strike

No one understands what point you’re trying to make, it’s clear that you’re just deeply invested in making terrible decisions to make some dubious money

It’s especially weird because everyone involved knows that name and likeness was dangerous territory, and has always known that was a live possibility. They’re still headquartered in California, the place with the most pronounced interest in protecting the name and likeness do celebrities.

Believe it or not, Tennessee arguably has even more vigorous protections.

I forgot about Tennessee but it makes sense they have a tremendous number of musicians and a big music business legal community down there

Back to the root of what Zuckerberg was doing in the first place, fantasizing about girls they can't have.

It's like Zuck's attitude toward women was formed when his HS junior/senior self couldn't get a date for the prom. 🤷♀️ He'll never get over it, will he?
