Honestly, corporations don't give a fuck about values. There's only one thing they care: making money. They are the ultimate whores for money. Only way to hurt them is by boycotting their products and services.

Yeah, I'm a little surprised this is something we needed a whistleblower for.
That's what happened to John Stewarts show on Apple as well. Apple wanted to censor him talking about China, as well as other issues.
~~Chinese~~ Any Government
Color me not shocked.
What colour is that then maybe a nice light tiffany blue?
I’d say yellow with some brown strips, details in black, cheeks red.
Wait a minute...
He'll be shocked about how he ended up looking like a bathroom wall. Maybe a nice light beige/yellow-brown, which is the color of natural rubber?
That's not much of a whistleblower. Everyone already assumed that was the case I suppose it's nice to have confirmation.
I imagine they went to the news trying to get this published and everyone was like, "well yeah". That's why the story is being broken by this absolute juggernaut of a media outlet
Usually "whistleblower" doesn't mean saying the obvious.
It's like various "whistleblowers" proudly saying with worry that ship's maintenance seems to not be very good, food sometimes not tasty and things stinky, while there's water filling the passenger deck.
I mean we can speculate all day but it's not the same thing as having someone on the inside confirming its the truth.
"was"?
I think "is currently" is the correct read.
Here come the “ask it about Tiananmen Square” comments from your alcoholic uncle in his pit vipers
TIL Gizmodo is now owned by a european (Swiss-French) company: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/04/business/media/gizmodo-sold-keleops.html
I’m curious if this was going to apply to content on non-Chinese Facebook. Another part of the article referring to hiring a “chief editor” explicitly says that the editor part would apply to the Chinese version only, but at the same time, Facebook removed content posted by a person in New York from Facebook at the request of the Chinese government, so it could go either way.
If somebody is decrying the state of free speech in their podcast, show or in the campaign trail you can be pretty confident it’s an empty platitude. That said, you probably won’t find many examples of people willing to defend free speech or any civil liberties the moment their freedom is on the line. That’s not Zuck though. He’s just full of it.
