Man they’re not even doing the dog-whistle thing anymore, huh? Fucking disgusting, I hope he experiences the everlasting warmth of a car fire in the near future.

Maybe we blow up another Tesla.
If they don’t blow themselves up, that is.
or CEO.
More billionaires should become amateur submariners.
Or go on a trip to Mars.
Fecesbook is crap. Crap take from a crappy data salesman with nothing but crap to sell. I can't wait until it eats itself from all the bots.
Gee I wonder why he’s suddenly decided to start moving parts of the business to Texas… little Musk-ette over here…
All of this is very likely to kiss the ring of Herr Trump
Unfortunately it's a very rational choice to cozy up to an incoming fascist dictator.
- Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp/Oculus
- Amazon
- Apple
- OpenAI
I am surprised myself, but making progress of not using their products. For example did not buy any gift via Amazon this Christmas.

Not likely, obviously.
That's Führer Trump to you, worm!
i prefer to call him herr trump.
The Turd Reich is upon us.
All heil!
Better late than never.
Meta was already enabling genocide in third world countries and countless other things but this is what caused chaos. Those employees have weird priorities, huh?
[edit] reworded slightly on the account of caused controversy
Not like they're a bunch of committed leftists working there.
Which is more likely to impact a Meta employee personally?
In fairness, do we know for certain what happened in Facebook back then? Maybe some employees did protest, maybe they're the same people protesting now, even. Or they quit. Thing is, LGBT issues make engaging articles. Third world suffering? Eh, it depends.
Yet, I agree with the overall point because this is the crux of the matter: on average, one of these simply matters more—one way or another, see transphobes cheering—for people of this subgroup. This is us.
The usual notes apply: good on them for protesting, big media isn't helping, fully ethical employment is like fully ethical consumption.
Not sure why you're being down voted, it's a fair point.
The fact ur so heighly downvoted for saying this. Perfect example of weird priorities.
id say a good 80% of those downvotes are misunderstanding. something about the wording? idk. i thought they were talking about progressive folks getting outraged at first, not meta employees specifically. almost downvoted but caught my misunderstanding in time

feel free to be heroes and leak meta's source code before leaving.
That’s a bit like emptying the sewer into the street
Meta employees suddenly discovering their conscience is a bit rich.
Still, it's good to see there are people there who won't just go along with anything.
i think I've finally reached peak zuckerberg, i don't want to read one more thing about facebook or meta or whatever
Same. Luckily you can add his name to the block list.
He is going to be bare ass naked running down the halls screaming for employees to "come at me bro"
He'd probably win ngl.
I'm not glad that someone stood up for the billionaire.
But good for you ?
I aint standing up for him just pointing out hes been trained to fight by professionals. Ohh and hes won competitions for it.
Yeah people drastically underestimate the gulf between randos and anybody who's had even a little decent training.
If you have a problem with it, organize a Facebook union. The only way small voices matter to CEOs are when they speak collectively.
if they weren't already organizing, I bet they are now. CWA has been receiving so many high quality leads for the last 2 years that they literally do not have enough dues-paying members to fund all of those campaigns. They're one of the largest unions in the US already.

Good to know that there’s still some decent people there.
Anyone 'decent' there is a wage-slave that doesn't have an out. If you can leave meta and don't there's no decency there.
