Why folks at Facebook defend their company too much?
We all know Facebook is a cancer to society. They are just evil scumbag. They don't have any moral or ethical values. They just treat their customers are mere products. They don't see them as humans. For them we are just a piece of data. Recently Apple revoked their enterprise certificate. If I comment anything in support of Apple bunch of FB employees come and bash me. I can't understand this. Just because you work for a company you don't need to support their evil things. Does Zuck give them any kind of additional bonus for defending the company ?
Or else piped?
They are masters of manipulating the dialogue of social networks. Maybe it’s their HR and they created a bunch of company accounts via an unlimited supply of email addresses. Any actor, fuck even the poor nation of Russia, can create an effective online narrative. Because it only takes a team of a few dozen working full time.
I think that behavior is rampant across Blind, whether people are defending their company, or lifestyle, or values they don't want to grapple with the fact that their situation is anything but noble
I point out the limits of my company when I see it’s fit. It’s healthy to have as objective of perspectives as you can. You drink the koolaid too much, and you might harm yourself (e.g., have a bunch of company stock, view things through the rose colored glasses, company stock rapidly declines, you end up a bagholder)

Okay. How can you defend Facebook for releasing an app that mines the data of kids?
And Facebook doesn't even remove the app from Play Store yet. This shows how much Facebook values privacy.
Facebook is pretty innocuous compared to e.g. tobacco companies whose products literally do cause cancer, or PG&E who periodically incinerate folks’ houses. The defensiveness of FB employees seems proportional to the level of ludicrous hyperbole in posts such as yours.
We defend the company because employees are treated like human beings and because the platform has done a lot of good. See giving tuesday as one small example. The better question is why aren’t more amazon, Microsoft, intuit, compass company employees proud of where they work and why do so many of them attack other companies out of insecurity? And why do they apply in mass to Facebook?
Exactly. If the company treats you well, you will be much more likely to defend them. If your company overworks you and only gives you bananas or asks you to vote with your feet, of course you are not only not going to defend it but join in the bashing.
Ok, giving Tuesday is fantastic. Do you just bury your head in the sand with respect to pretty much everything else your company does? See, from an outsiders perspective Facebook does a lot of horrible shit. Not trying to troll, just being honest.
As usual, The Onion puts it best: “Facebook Employees Explain Daily Struggle Of Trying To Care About Company's Unethical Practices When Gig So Cushy” https://youtu.be/-DiBc1vkTig
At least, they treat employees better than Amazon does. LoL
