Not GP - While I think your question is polite and otherwise undeserving of a downvote, I don’t think it’s a fair question. I don’t read GP as defending Meta, and I think there’s substantial problems that arise if pointing out good things equates to defending associated bad things. IMHO it’s the strict inverse of disallowing pointing out the bad things within otherwise good things (afaik, a main component of toxic positivity)
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoI’m not sure I follow the last point but you are of course correct that the question itself is based on the premise that Meta is under scrutiny and the social “state” for lack of a better term (think state and transition) is “on public trial.” So in that sense, yes it’s a loaded question, however I think it’s a valid contextual assumption given the context of the article and comments.
- RangerScience 3y ago> (think state and transition) I completely don't follow this - I think you're referencing something I'm unfamiliar with?

- davorak 3y agoIf I understanding you correctly you are saying that Meta's reputation is on public trial, which I think is accurate.
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoYeah that’s what I’m getting after It’s reasonable to assume criticism in that context
- jszymborski 3y agoGP's preamble was that their comment was motivated by the desire to preempt "Facebook bashing". I think it was made very clear int their own words that their intention was to defend Facebook in anticipation of comments critical of FB.
