- This leak coming after all the reassurances that the intitiative passed privacy review and wouldn't be a leak risk is soo damning.
Not only have the employees lost faith in the executive's integrity, but their basic competency as well.
- Does anyone, ever, have any faith in the integrity or competence of executives, these days? Because it seems to me that most people would outright prefer them to burn but are powerless against the increasing abuses and betrayals of employees.
- 20% of the people will always just agree with the guy with the microphone.

- Keyloggers collect sensitive data? Some really sharp insight coming out of FB HQ here
Stupid plan yields stupid results
- It really makes you wonder why anyone still wants to work there. The only reason I can imagine people are staying is because they're afraid they can't get work anywhere else.
- Money. It's not complicated.
- It’s a terrible job market and they pay notoriously well.
- No, the right framing is they are paid what they deserve.
The premium they get paid is for being treating like shit.
Anyone who has any sympathy for them is an absolute idiot.
- Why aren't they deserving of sympathy? Crazy take and a massive lack of empathy.
- Facebook is widely thought to cause significant societal damage; anyone who thinks so, would probably consider employees of Meta to be the ones lacking empathy.
- So Facebook products are definitely not good for humans to use, sort of like cane sugar is not good for humans to use, but I wonder if you also think this about, I dunno, banks? They do vastly more predatory stuff with much bigger impacts. Nobody’s Facebook usage is affecting how much housing costs, for example. But for some reason there seems to be more outrage at social media companies. Odd!
- If they do it, then we can do it too.
So lets bomb some sucker nation or assassinate folks we summarily don't like, without due process. F'k it, if they do it, then we can also do it.
How does that make anything better? It results in a degradation of societal values where morals and positive norms are assigned to the pages of history.
There was a time when positive examples, folks standing up and resisting was seen as a something good. Nowadays everyone just does it because the others are even worse. So who should start making the world a better place? The others.
- Because they know what they are signing up for? I’ve only interviewed at Meta for practice even though I could earn ~250k a year more working there.
- This is true at all of big tech. Management class is assholes. It’s been like this for too long.
- Using employees instead of contractors because they produce higher-quality data sounds less clever after you leak the employees' data.
- "The incident was classified as a SEV 2 on a scale of 0 to 5, with 0 being the most severe."
Only 2?
- Whether you're a consumer, employee, or enterprise IT, in today's data-rich world, it can be difficult to tell if your information is really being stored securely.
I'm therefore proud to announce my new, AI-powered startup to help you navigate the modern privacy landscape. It's called Nope™. If you're concerned about privacy, make sure Nope™ is the first thing you think of.
It's easy to get started! Whenever you find yourself asking, "Is this company really storing my data securely?", your next thought should be: "Nope™"
- Ask your local unemployment benefits office if Nope™ is right for you!
- i still laugh thinking that once, during my life, working for facebook was coveted and respected.
- Good.
Hope this initiative fails spectacularly.
- Does Mark Zuckerberg have his keystrokes tracked ?
- The tried and trusted “Move fast and break things”…
