I don't buy this. They know what they are doing, they know what facebook is doing. They know how damaging it is, yet they do it anyway. For money.
Anyone that works at facebook is happily contributing to this mess, for money.
- tempsy 6y agovery few people can say that their job is 100% positive for the world.
- LandR 6y agoYes, but most of us can say that our job isn't contributing to a possible end-game for civilization. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit at this point is a massive net negative on society, that's abundantly clear.As existential risks against civilization go I put Facebook, Twitter etc only below global warming. And it's closer than it should be.
- freeone3000 6y agoI don't work for facebook. I work for another large tech company. I worked on doing facial recognition. I was told it would be used to improve login systems. It actually was! It was also used to detect suspected criminals from stadium footage for the Chinese government. What do you do with this? When even your best-intentioned work was turned against society?
