I wonder how much the developers writing that are being paid to be complete assholes.
- ljm 10mo agoKnowing what total comp is like for those companies, I'm sure Facebook more than exceeded the price one might put on ethics. I've personally resigned from positions for less and it hasn't cost me much comfort in life (maybe some career progression perhaps but, meh).
- strangegecko 10mo agoI can't speak for FB. But I know a local (non-US) real estate company which does crap like this (they also love to disable right click and detect when browser tools are open and programmatically close the tab/page when that happens), and they're not paying much. I'm guessing it's double of minimum wage, which isn't high here.

- pxc 10mo agoShouldn't this kind of thing be illegal as a matter of accessibility?
- CyberDildonics 10mo agoCan you link to the law you're talking about?
- pxc 10mo agoI'm not making a legal argument. If someone else would like to make one, though, I'd be happy to read it.
- panzi 10mo agoSince this is about something nobody wants to see (ads) my guess would be that it might be legal here.
- CyberDildonics 10mo agoShouldn't this kind of thing be illegal I'm not making a legal argument. Why would someone else make a legal argument for you? You're the one saying it should be illegal.
- palata 10mo agoThey say that they feel like it should be illegal. And you ask for the corresponding law, calling it a legal argument... Can you genuinely not see the disconnect here?
