In this thread: Facebook employees desperately trying to shape the narrative
Look, I'd be as happy as anyone if this all did turn out to be 'nothing'. It would be a much more pleasant world. But it's kind of obvious that with this crowd, the tech entrepreneur crowd, it's a terrible website to have certain discussions about, because industry folks will defend industry no matter what (which is not to say this always happens, there are appropriately critical comments, but come on)
- mypastself 5y agoI don’t personally use any Facebook products (although I am sometimes required to use its APIs profesionally), in part because I find their business model and practices ethically questionable, and the products’ utility low. I’ve yet to come across any kind of legal “smoking gun” in any of these reports. Click through some of the non-paywalled links and you’ll see how little of substance there truly is in the majority of cases. The company is losing market dominance? They were grappling with whether or not to remove the “like” button? Even the seemingly major bombshells, like “facilitating ethnic cleansing”, are not supported by any sources or data present in the text.
