Until you actually do something to counter it, as in, actively counter it, you’ve just given up a very prized chair that millions of people would gladly fill. And haven’t improved the status quo whatsoever. The rate of population and new software devs being minted far exceeds the throughput rate of people resigning from Meta due to privacy concerns.
Also, this isn’t the first “I’m leaving meta because privacy” blog post we’ve seen. Others came before you, and others will come after you. Seems like no one actually does anything other than leave. And then get quickly replaced.
So let me ask you - how many years were you there for, and how much money did you make before ethics suddenly became a concern? You going to hand all that money back to Zuck or what’s the score?
