I fully agree with your explanation Dan. In general I dislike the "air public grievances about $employer", because it's almost NEVER a level playing field: you can claim $anything, while your employer is usually legally restricted from replying for matters of privacy (which is good, by the way).
That said: maybe there should be a process for reporting disingenuous job ads? You removed the Meta one for example, and to be honest this complain does sound more than just "I had a negative experience" such as a bad interview, ghosting, or "I worked here and it was horrible".
It's not even formatted properly! IMHO this thread is objectively made worse by submissions like this.
