does facebook refund advertisers all the money spent advertising to fake accounts?

This will have zero effect. If you take any kind of public transportation, even glancing across peoples' screens as you sit down (and ~everyone'll be looking at a screen), 95% will be on fb or instagram. I wish it were different,

Some day Stewart is going to make the game he's been trying to make for over a decade, and it'll be awesome.

If your company is too big to keep its own employees from committing crimes, it's too big.

There is no alternative to facebook within orders of magnitude of network effects. FB employees could use their experience and knowledge to work elsewhere.

Stop taking away personal responsibility from the thousands of facebook employees, each of whom chooses to be evil every single day. None of these people are being forced to work there. They choose to. They are just as responsible.

I said it about facebook and I'll say it again about youtube: zero credit for deciding extremist views like white hate have no place on your platform a decade later. How many ad dollars did Google make off these videos? And how much da

I too appreciate this discussion, and I will look into the authors you noted. I don't disagree with anything you've said, except that I add one more option to the IC's list: 5) Leave the system: quit and work somewhere else.

My argument is that we are long past the time when an engineer can implement something without thinking about the ethical and moral implications of how their work could be used. And in the case of working at facebook, will most definitely b

Those systemic forces, if real, don't force engineers to work at facebook. It's a choice they make every single day.

My issue is with the word "ultimately" - to me it is used to throw the burden of making ethical choices off the front line employee and onto a black hole somewhere up the chain of command. Yes, the responsibility is ULTIMATELY on

about whether facebook is evil? Not in the last decade, and I have a hunch most addicted users agree. It's been years since I've even seen a pro-facebook take on HN, let alone anywhere else. Most people echo something similar to &

Is it too much to ask that this vote of no confidence inspires any facebook employees to re-evaluate their life choices and decide to work somewhere else? Maybe somewhere that does good? I think it's too much to ask, but I hope that it

the buck should have stopped at the engineer who wrote the code, and for far too long we've lost sight of that.

Reminder that the deviant behavior is caused by the employees of these companies. They are responsible for their actions, and for continuing to work there despite the evil they do every day.

I look forward to the day when selling user's data requires the user's opt-in every single time a third party wants to access that data. No more "yes to all" or allowing blanket usage in TOS/EULAs. People who use ap

As far as I can tell, the phrase "fuck you money" comes from James Clavell's 1966 novel "Tai Pan." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tai-Pan_(novel)

Anyone who will work for facebook now doesn't care about optics.

by malloreon 7y ago
for facebook optics is not a thing. they know they have a stranglehold on people addicted to their products, and advertisers who pay through the nose to sell things to those addicts. Honestly, why bother with optics? No one's going to

I appreciate how the word using the word 'are,' though done because of a difference of how other countries refer to organizations, drives home the point that facebook is not a monolith. It is a collection of thousands of morally b

As other commenters have noted, there's a broader business case to be made for a service that knows when you're running out of anything in the home or office.
