  Well you can have integrity in form of being consistently evil doer. Hitler showed some integrity with his treatment of jews/slavs/dissent. Facebook has consistently shown integrity when it comes to spying on users, lying to everybody, and generally being a douchebag of a company

  WTF does a VP of integrity do? Have lunches with the VP of honesty?

    They mostly just avoid talking to the VP of Truth.

      Nah, I would think he's their friend as his role is likely to mostly involve promoting "company culture" in all-hands meetings and via the corporate blog. It's facts that they all avoid or diligently rework to fit their version of the truth.

    You know how banks have someone who's job title is something like "Head Of Fraud"? Who's role is to work out what a "reasonable" allowable amount of fraud is, small enough that it can be de-risked and budgeted for, but not so small it becomes "more expensive that it's worth" to fight it? An then to put processes in place to monitor fraud and ensure no more fraud occurs that planned for? That's what _I'm_ imagining a "VP of Integrity" at Facebook does.

    I asked the VP of absurdity, and he told me to go ask the VP of Kafkaesque nightmares.

    Integrity teams at FB are teams that handle abuse on the platform, and other bad things (fake accounts, spam, malicious developers, malicious ads, ...). Why integrity? Bunch of teams (not all) that did abuse had integrity in their name (like site integrity, platform integrity), so I guess that the name just sticks. And what does VP of integrity do? Manages organization that handles abuse on the platform.

      I guess VP of Abuse is just not a good look
      • mic47 7y ago
        well, VP of Abuse is exactly as good as VP of Spam. You know, it's not clear, whether you are trying to to reduce abuse/spam, or create it.

          To be fair it’s often not clear whether Facebook are trying to reduce integrity, or create it. :)

These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministries_of_Nineteen_Eighty-Four https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministries_of_Nineteen_Eighty-...

  Israeli Companies in particular are hell bent on acquiring ‘big data’ on the populations of western nations.
