Yes, that's why he's calling it out. What's your point? Should we not care about this case, because others are abusing it as well? Two wrongs don't make a right

Yes, that's why he's calling it out. What's your point? Should we not care about this case, because others are abusing it as well? Two wrongs don't make a right. Two hundred wrongs neither.
It sounds trite, but you're changing the subject. And when every post like OP's has a reply of the tone "Pff why do you even bother naming and shaming one guy who did wrong; don't you know everybody's making a farce of Je Suis Charlie?", it conveys hopelessness. It's demoralizing and it's a conversation killer.
We get it. Every politician is a hypocrite. Okay. Can we stop using it as a condescending dismissal of valid points, now, please?
I, for one, would love to know more about the specific details of Zuckerberg's alleged hypocrisy, so I can judge for myself.
Edit: ps: Upvoted you because I agree. I just want to highlight that your post should not be taken as a rebuttal against OP.
- conradfr 12y agoI didn't want to call OP out, I was just surprised that he was himself surprised by the dichotomy between Zuckerberg public stance and Facebook actions. And yes I'm glad this kind of behavior is exposed but I also don't expect companies to be freedom warriors.
