5. I'm not a programmer or any other type of IT professional

but it looks to me - an interested observer - like Meta is deliberately screwing with Pandas by alerting on the word ‘Python’. Perhaps I’m displaying my ignorance, but this seems like a relatively simple fix…if they wanted to fix it, that is.

I’m not a lawyer either, but it further appears that Pandas has a case for suing Meta. For what? I don’t know. That’s the beauty of armchair lawyerin’. I can inject my personal assessment of right and wrong into business law without regard for validity.

I wonder how Monty Python fares on the Meta platform? Wouldn’t Meta have written code to distinguish? There must be thousands of similar situations involving words like that, hence my earlier mention of this being deliberate.
