And you expect Meta employees, of all people, to believe this?
- mmkos 6mo agoYeah, it is complete bullshit. Even if they don't do it straight away, once they have the spyware in place, it's only a matter before they do. It is Meta after all.
- orangecoffee 6mo agoDoes not matter? I think the high compensation will be what will drive the compliance.
- anonym00se1 6mo agoIn the midst of their 4th straight year of layoffs with another looming 20% cut coming, I'm guessing Meta employees are a tiny but suspicious.
- dylan604 6mo agoThese are the same employees that willfully code the largest spy network on the planet, so it seems like they are willing to believe a lot
- HoldOnAMinute 6mo agoAre they merging with Palantir any time soon?
- kridsdale1 6mo agoMeta people used to protest and demand Thiel be removed from the board all the time, in the 2010s. But it’s probably not like that anymore.
- wonnage 6mo agoEveryone that’s left either buys into the culture or is stuck due to immigration
- bradlys 6mo agoOr stuck with HCOL that is the Bay Area. There’s not really any purely “ethical” companies in the Bay Area that pay enough for you to live there. You’d be surprised how few people actually buy into the corporate culture at these companies. It’s just to get paid because everyone needs a job to pay their expenses. You want to solve this then lower the cost of housing.

- seanp2k2 6mo agoYou have to be very good at pretending to land director and above roles, though.
- bradlys 6mo agoThe very top is lying all the time about what they believe...
- m0llusk 6mo agoMedical device companies are run very differently from most technology development companies. They have to be because the stakes are high, evaluation criteria are different, and medical related marketing and sales have separate industry managed channels and venues.
- kingleopold 6mo agofun fact: they all made above $1-2 million, some even a lot more via meta stock. so after that they stopped doing that kind of thing. ethics can be bought it just have different price everyone.
- cuuupid 6mo agoI'd argue Meta is much worse: Palantir builds these systems for the US government which is (hopefully) something you can hold accountable / can reasonably trust. Meta builds these systems for itself to make digital cocaine and sell personal data to profit off everyone (including and moreso primarily the elderly and children). You can't hold them accountable, actually pretty much nobody can hold Zuckerberg accountable. When Palantir helps USG spy on the planet the primary purpose is defeat enemies + protect assets. When Meta builds these systems the primary purpose is digital cocaine.
- dylan604 6mo agoDoes Palantir collect data or just analyze aggregated purchased data? I'm not familiar with the data collecting SDKs available as I don't whore out myself/my sites like that, so maybe there is a pipe directly from them???? Either way, I'd definitely hold those directly responsible for collecting and selling of the data way worse than those that just make use of a product. It's like the war on drugs where those making say they will make as long as there are people wanting to buy
- LiamPowell 6mo ago> Does Palantir collect data or just analyze aggregated purchased data? Neither. Palantir makes data management software, they've never been in the business of collecting or analysing data themselves at all. There's generally a fundamental misunderstanding online of what Palantir actually does. Any time you see an article or comment saying something along the lines of "Palantir is stealing your data", consider if it makes sense when you replace Palantir with MySQL, if it doesn't then it's generally safe to assume that article is garbage. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to have grievances with Palantir, but they're completely drowned out by nonsense.
- frm88 6mo agoNeither. Palantir makes data management software, they've never been in the business of collecting or analysing data themselves at all. There's generally a fundamental misunderstanding online of what Palantir actually does. This is rather naive. Palantir makes politics by creating and funding a SuperPAC to discredit a former employee who happens to support the RAISE act. Leading the Future, a super PAC whose funders include the founders of companies like Palantir and OpenAI, is spending millions of dollars this election cycle, and a considerable amount of that money is going toward attack ads against Alex Bores – even though Bores himself used to work for Palantir. https://youtu.be/znKb71kLG5c?si=5Q9B88bXaGCkgebN https://youtu.be/znKb71kLG5c?si=5Q9B88bXaGCkgebN They even have a political manifesto, a thing that a private company dedicated to data analytics, should definitely not have: https://gizmodo.com/alex-karps-supervillain-manifesto-is-putting-palantirs-contracts-at-risk-2000749105 https://gizmodo.com/alex-karps-supervillain-manifesto-is-put...
