In terms of the story the patient posted, she has posted MRI pictures of her brain (with her personal information) that tracked with an skull base tumor (according to a quick look by an oncologist, who told me I should really ask a radiologist.) (Which is the epistemic hedging that the article metnions.)
I was also able to verify that of the case numbers she mentions in one of her posts exist and were filed in within the timeline mentioned (late 2025/early 2026), and they've been deemed "non-actionable". (But I couldn't confirm if she was indeed the person that filed them, or if the complaint was indeed against the Greek government.)
the interesting part isn't whether Meta's AI is right or wrong, it's that when N models say "great idea" and one pushes back, the one pushing back feels like the broken one
I think other AI agents have been trained to talk with somebody like a high IQ and remember a lot of context, Meta's AI has been trained to talk like somebody with a moderate-to-low IQ with a sense of humor.

And the definition of "SHOULD" (from RFC 2119) is "This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course."
Having said that, I regret my original characterization of the Message-ID header as a "requirement" and have updated the blogpost to be fair to all sides.
I suspect that Google going out of their way to make this required had a very reasonable and thought-out process, while the sender's omission was on oversight, so I haven't contacted Google Workspace support.
What's truly iffy is that GMail doesn't have the same strict requirements, and there's no way (at least that I found) to turn it off for my Google Workspace domain.
