Stop taking away personal responsibility from the thousands of facebook employees, each of whom chooses to be evil every single day.
None of these people are being forced to work there. They choose to. They are just as responsible.
- lixtra 7y agoIn that case don’t spare the users of FB either. They could carry their content elsewhere but they chose to feed the monster even more. Or - accept the fact that people consider a fair deal what seems to be exploitation to you. If you don’t believe that people are able to make a reasonable, conscious choice then the end of democracy has come (for you).

- malloreon 7y agoThere is no alternative to facebook within orders of magnitude of network effects. FB employees could use their experience and knowledge to work elsewhere.
- dang 7y agoPlease don't post in the flamewar style to HN. The signal/noise ratio is way too low. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20166045 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20166045 and marked it off-topic. Edit: it looks like you've been posting a bunch of these fiery denunciations to HN. I appreciate your strong feelings on the subject, but please don't use this site in that spirit. It's not what it's for, and it destroys the intellectual curiosity that it is for.
