On a scale of one to five, comparing to Uber’s whistleblower Susan Fowler moment, how serious this FB whistleblower event?
resignation?
pip
Like TK lol
i live under a rock. what’s going on
nvm just read about it. what were people expecting lol is anyone surprised? everyone knows fb is bad
just because you expected it does not make it okay. facebook is cancer for our society.
Here’s the dirty secret: (nobody cares) Google and Facebook have been harvesting used data for decades but the average person doesn’t care about that because they consider the utilitarian value of what FB provides them to be more valuable than a world without it. If they survived Cambridge Analytica, then nothing is going to come from this whistle blowing 🤷
that’s simply not true. I deeply care about the impact to our society that fb has. there goes your “nobody cares” argument. there was a time people used uranium in their cosmetics products or thought smoking was cool. facebook is worse than smoking.
i get your point 1c0r, but i agree with @cryptonyte. i’m sure 99% of the population agrees that fb is toxic to our society. but people still use it. why? because it really does do what it’s designed to do: entertain us and keep us connected to the world. yeah it’s terrible for our mental health but we chose to sign up for it. same with google; yes it harvests my data but i use it because i get so much fkn value from it (search, entire g suite, etc). sure they can keep track of my porn history 😂 personally i’d rather have google/instagram/etc be free in exchange for my data rather then it be private but i pay a fucking monthly subscription for the rest of my life for it
This went 0 to political real quick..
Username checks out.
Depends on your morality. Uber was a CEO specific issue. Facebook is promoting murder on the behalf of the Mexican cartels and ME terrorists, abetting sex trafficking, purposefully messing with young kids minds / perceptions of reality for profit, and promoting their own views of the world. All of management and a large portion of the staff has apparently known this for years and done nothing. Luckily though, FB controls the narrative for everything with the recently uncovered stories, and will do so again here. The company will be fine despite the detriment to the world.
The dns error is huge though
Some scapegoats heads will roll for the master . Some HR rules tightening. Some political campaigns funding to ease the blows. Things will pass over. Americans have too many things to keep them occupied plus short term memories. Most millennials and gen-z had no idea about Nixon and Watergate or Vietnam. Guess, they'll learn it the hard way when next war started.
Some hefty exits of execs incoming to scapegoat the whole situation lol
what are you talking about? did i miss something not reading any news?
Instagram for kids got some heat. I haven't read details
And Instagram and FB both down. Coincidence?
