"One problem is that right now we can only retain evil crypto developers, due to our new platform stance which is pro-evil," said Eris Jùmen, head of media abuse at Facebook.

"Facebook is committed to fostering an open and inclusive community, and that begins at our workspace. This is why we have a zero-tolerance policy for backbones, ethics or any other resemblence of a conscience. We truly live and breathe the utopia-building bullshit that is riddled in our media releases, and depend upon the talented engineers who readily prostitute their minds for the cause." added Mira Pedersen, VP of Human Relegations
