Trick FB with some JS to allow advertisement for titles not allowed

If you want to give away your PS account, you need a list of all games purchased and as a developer you will not do it by hand.

So for my four pages of games I own for the PS I write a little script that works with:

https://library.playstation.com/recently-purchased

document.querySelectorAll('[data-qa="collection-game-list-product#title"')
  .forEach((node) =>
    console.log(node.textContent))
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So with all those console logs, I have all I need for a Facebook posting.

The problem is, my posting gets banned, I think because of some game titles in there.

My idea to get beyond this, was to add little spaces to each letter, so that a simple algorithm can not find the forbidden names.

First I create a long string from my console logs.

allTitles = `The Art of Horizon Zero Dawn™
Horizon Zero Dawn™: Complete Edition
HITMAN 3
HITMAN 3
ABZU
Enter the Gungeon
Paper Beast
Rez Infinite
The Witness
Thumper
...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Next I transform each string line into a new string in with each letter is separated by a hair space.

spacedTitles = allTitles.split('\n').map((title) => {
  return [...title].map(char => char + '\u200A').join('')
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And this spaced title map is then transformed back into a long string on the console.

console.log(
  spacedTitles.reduce((all, title) =>
    `${all}${title}\n`, ''
  )
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Becoming this

R e z   I n f i n i t e 
T h e   W i t n e s s 

And this is finally not recordnized by FB as forbidden - mission complete.
