    I looked it up and apparently the safety check feature was invented by a couple of Facebook engineers who were on a research trip to Japan in 2011 and had to evacuate when the Fukushima disaster happened.

    But according to that article, Facebook used unpaid volunteers from non-English-speaking countries to translate their UI and now I’m angry again.
