But they are being evil and hypocritical.
Facebook does not care about small businesses - so instead of responding to the thin veil of "but think of the small businesses!", people are responding to the underlying concern that Facebook really has - their own welfare (which .. they have described in their quarterly filing to the SEC with estimated loss of revenue)
- pm90 6y agoI don’t necessarily disagree with the characterization per se but I don’t think it makes for a convincing argument to most people who don’t particularly care about morality when dealing with what a corporation does.
- beagle3 6y agoIt is up to you what you find convincing or acceptable, but as a strategy I don’t like yours - Facebook can come (and does) come up with bad faith arguments. If you keep responding to them, they waste your energy evaluating and responding to each argument. They have unlimited resources, in comparison. The only reasonable way, in the long term, is to ignore the specifics and address the essence. Some of us have been observing this behavior (with many companies and politicians) for decades, and choose bot to play the game dictated by the other side.
