Default Re: Facebook, Amazon and Firefox

Turmoil at facebook! Whistleblower spent two years trying to make things better from the inside before she said fuck it, they won’t change unless this goes public.

CNN"The thing I saw at Facebook over and over again was there were conflicts of interest between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook, and Facebook over and over again chose to optimize for its own interests, like making more money," Haugen told "60 Minutes."

"They basically said, 'Oh good, we made it through the election, there weren't riots, we can get rid of civic integrity now,'" she said. "Fast forward a couple of months, and we had the Insurrection. When they got rid of civic integrity, it was the moment where I was like, 'I don't trust that they're willing to actually invest what needs to be invested to keep Facebook from being dangerous.'"

Facebook whistleblower revealed on '60 Minutes,' says the company prioritized profit over public good - CNN

I haven’t watched the 60 minute piece yet, but it sounds like it’s everything everyone expected but worse. Facebook knew they were harmful liars and didn’t care as long as it brings in money.

Facebook might not get away with it this time as more than just moral or ethics violations there’s solid claims they tried to hide it from investors, which in this religiously capitalistic country, is the only violation that really counts.

Combined with tiktok basically sapping all the youths who don’t want to be on the thing that their angry uncle posts on and see facebook as the land of boomers and old millennials, we might be seeing the beginning of the end for Facebook.
