Um, because those engineers don't have commit access to the repository? You can't just hire an engineering team and take over any open source project you want.

- irrational 6y agoOh, I was assuming the engineering team would lie a pretend like they did not work for Facebook. I assumed they would slowly work to gain the confidence of those in control and little by little they gain the access they required themselves. Maybe they could pretend not to know each other and use that to their advantage. Surely a company with the resources of Facebook could manufacture fake alternate lives for the engineering team to make them look completely legitimate and harmless.
- willxinc 6y agoDo you mean Apple, whose usage of the PSL caused this?
- irrational 6y agoNo, Facebook. Facebook is telling companies to use the PSL. The PSL people are saying, “we give no guarantees about how long it will take us to add a domain to the PSL”. They could drag their feet so long as to make the PSL useless. To make sure it works, I could see Facebook wanting to get some of their people into position so that they can immediately approve PRs on the PSL. I can’t think of any reason Apple would want to support the PSL.
- ankmathur96 6y agoApple is literally the one recommending the PSL I have no idea what you're talking about
- colinmhayes 6y agoApple linked PSL to PSM. Facebook told all their sites to abuse PSL with requests to get added.
