"“They are morally bankrupt pathological liars who enable genocide (Myanmar), facilitate foreign undermining of democratic institutions. “[They] allow the live streaming of suicides, rapes, and murders, continue to host and publish the mosque attack video, allow advertisers to target ‘Jew haters’ and other hateful market segments, and refuse to accept any responsibility for any content or harm." Source: https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2019/apr/08/facebook-are-morally-bankrupt-liars-says-new-zealands-privacy-commissioner Ruthless. Is Facebook morally corrupt? A dumpster fire? What's it like working there right now? Does anyone care?
I interviewed in during early 2017 when live streaming was new feature. I asked what is fb doing to avoid beheading streaming by isis. He didn’t have back then and still it is the same situation. Guess they worry more about the fact that my pointer swap was incorrect.
Isis has been defeated & is a history now.
Good thing global terrorism went to bed for the rest of time. Thanks FB
Don’t know about the rest, but the Jew-hating part is true at the highest levels of its leadership (Zuckerberg/Sandberg). The thing about George Soros is proven and factual. But hey, their TC is great, and besides everyone uses FB/Instagram/WhatsApp so 🤷♂️ Everything is easy and hard to justify these days. So confusing.
"The thing about George Soros is proven and factual." I've honestly been trying to understand this one for a while. Can you please explain? I've tried looking this up and the best I can find is about Sheryl questioning his motives, and media labeling it as anti semitic, but I fail to see the connection still.
Can't believe people are buying the "two of the richest Jews in America hate Jewish people" story.
Yes
FB is terrible and a lot of what is said in that article from NZ officials is true. However at the same time the NZ government is still hysterical over the shootings and is on a banning/censorship spree. They’re mad at FB for not doing some things that are impossible to do. As others have said, FB should have long ago taken the position that they are merely providing a service and cannot be held responsible for what their users do with it.
Tell that to the EU.
I don’t think that sentiment could apply. **What if** posts of FB had close ties to something like human trafficking? Should FB be allowed to let their users continue and not actively attempt to fragment the group’s communications?
It’s not a bank, but a platform. It is impossible and naive to hold FB responsible for the free will of their users. Simple as that.
Think New Zealand will ban the internet like the EU is trying to do?
think or hope so?
Asking? I hope no one tries to block the internet. Yes it will enable some bad actors but is overwhelming good imho.
Yes
Yes. They literally caused a genocide. They did a study to see if they could purposely cause depression in teenagers. They steal other people’s ideas. They lie about what they collect info for (eg phone numbers for 2FA being used for other things)
Yep, pretty much this. They need to take some ethics classes. It comes from the top, as always (Markie Z.)
Morally bankrupt, who knows. I think we all know that FB isn’t nearly as important to society as they think, or would have people think.
Facebook leadership should just take the stance of “we aren’t responsible for our users content, but will as a courtesy do our best to make the platform enjoyable for our target audience”. All the bad attention is simply because Mark is a social justice warrior, which leads to many poor scenarios in the public eye. So no, they are not morally corrupt, but merely lack the wisdom to guide their gushing moral agenda. Beyond the inane news media drama, Facebook makes great profits year after year and has consistent growth.
That may lead to an instant abandoning of everyone in the platform. Also, the teams won't take this work seriously if he said this.
That is instant death for fb. They should hire you at fb top most leadership levels 😂
