The public and the media are out for blood, and will gleefully ignore the context of discussions in order to publicly hang someone on a single quote.
Under that threat, real discussion and debate is not possible, so I think it’s wise of employees to censor themselves.
- seattle_spring 9y agoThis captures my feelings exactly. Even on this forum where I used to feel people would look at scenarios through a neutral lens, I see the dumbest, most outrageous conspiracy theories being upvoted to the top purely because they paint FB in a negative light. If I worked at FB I would definitely be keeping a low profile, lest some tinfoil hat nutjob got a hold of my comments, snipped a few words, and presented them in a negative light to the public completely out of context.
