This person worked for Facebook for just under a year taking its money while building and securing a platform/growth opportunity for white supremacy and other extremist views, and given what we know about Facebook compensation, likely did very well for that almost year.

This is a good first step, but I’m curious why Facebook’s defense/promotion of white supremacy, its support for Brett Kavanaugh, and the genocide in Myanmar, which this engineer mentioned in their resignation post, wasn’t worth quitting over two weeks ago.

Edit: referring to this tweet screenshotting the same engineer’s post about resignation.

Quoting the resigned: “Facebook, complicit in the propagation of weaponized hatred, is on the wrong side of history.”

If you go back to work tomorrow, what changes?

Especially when no one’s in the office anyway.

- pro Kavanaugh

- genocide in Myanmar

- destruction of privacy

- facebook accepting it creates extremists

every time they record an ad impression because of you or send a message that reinforces their network effect, you enable these people. It's not worth it.

You work there, you own this. It is who you are.

And continue doing so each day.

do fb employees think they get paid enough not to deal with the moral and ethical issues their work creates?

I recommend this order:

The Murder of Rodger Ackroyd

And Then There Were None (also titled Ten Little Indians)

Murder on the Orient Express

There's 200 hours of my textbook voiceover work available through the system, and every time I remember that it puts a spring in my step for the day.

I always figured this conversation happened:

1: "We have all these engineers who write javascript but users are switching to native apps. what do we do?"

2: "We could retrain them all."

1: "That would be expensive and time consuming."

2: "We could fire them all."

1: "Also expensive and time consuming."

2: "Wait, what if we made it so you could write native apps in javascript?"

I use $15 bluetooth earbuds cause I don't want to worry about losing them.

"While we’re here, let’s clear up some GOP disinfo: - “It’s 1500 jobs vs 25,000”: The 25,000 jobs figure was a 10-20 year fantasy # from Amazon, not a promise or agreement. In exchange for that lack of commitment, they wanted billions of public $. Their Y1 jobs projection was 700."

quote from tweet from AOC: "Won’t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway - without requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways.

Maybe the Trump admin should focus more on cutting public assistance to billionaires instead of poor families."

if it's not, why not use a nonreligious word?

the word advent is religious.

Each time I ask them for more information in understanding the underlying value of the digital asset they're trying to charm me with and then all I get are screenshots of the values going up mixed with invitations to visit them in China.

it was frustrating the first 2-3 times before becoming comical.

publicly finance all campaigns. Every candidate gets the same public funds to run their entire campaign.

ban all lobbying. eliminate the government -> private sector job pipeline.

eliminate the concept of "money is speech" - speech is speech, and that's it.

Blizzard, the NBA, all of these organizations know this and will find a way to make it right that doesn't turn off the money.
