"Content moderation at scale is impossible to do well." Named after Mike Masnick of TechDirt, the theorem is that moderating user generated content such as on social media, video services, websites, blogs, etc. and the comment sections therein is inherently difficult to do correctly all the time, and becomes increasingly difficult at large scales. As a result, at large scales sites will increasingly make incorrect moderation decisions.
Facebook's suspension of a prominent journalist's account for posting a news article is an example of Masnick's Impossibility Theorem.

Impossible Stealth

Ridiculously exaggerated stealth where a person who is trying to be sneaky either:

A. Does sneaky maneuvers that should be physically impossible, or
B. Is incredibly stealthy without even trying.
In Fallout 76, an extreme stealth build can often achieve the type B version of impossible stealth, as enemies will often right past you and will not shoot you, as long as you're crouching. Enemies can also be actively shooting at you and attacking them will still count as a sneak attack, if you're doing it correctly.

Every time people end up in jail it's always because of some impossible mission people get sent on where people want to pretend to be chasing them.
