Saying a human is at the end of this decision is like saying a gun is at the end of a decision to shoot.
The company is going to do layoffs regardless. If you swap in another CEO for Mark, that's just giving the company a different weapon to do the deed.
- kiliancs 4y agoI'm having trouble accepting this comment is not sarcastic. The fact that most CEOs or boards would behave the same way doesn't make it moral, and the whole point of this specific threat is whether morality can be applied to corporations.
- spencerchubb 4y agoI'm not being sarcastic at all. I'm not saying that Meta's actions are moral. The comment above mine said "there's always a human at the end of the decision" implying that if Meta just had more ethical individuals, then Meta would make more ethical decisions. I am arguing that it doesn't matter whether the individuals have good or bad moral values, because the company values profit above all else.
