> TBF .... I'm not saying Zuck is a saint here, but this is more of an issue with social media being a corrosive force in general... the modern version of big tobacco in a way.
There's nothing "to be fair" about here; it's disgusting no matter how you frame it. Big tobacco did disgusting things to glamorize smoking and hook generations of people on nicotine. The core "issue" you're describing is a bad one: being unable to concede even the smallest sliver of your engagement metrics in the interest of not being a driving force behind children's body dysmorphia. It's just as bad as adding camera filters to let kids see themselves lighting up a Marlboro.
- brandall10 3y agoWell sure it's disgusting, the "TBF" was simply saying it's unreasonable to think someone at the helm of a publicly traded ship that has employed ethically dubious means for growth to suddenly take ethical stances that hurt said business. At the corporate level it's really weighing optics vs features that drive engagement and revenue.
