I immediately found myself asking "why" too. It's curious, and to an outsider borderline nonsensical. Of course we all know that Facebook didn't get to where it is by committing random acts of kindness, so it's worth thinking it over and trying to understand what might be behind this decision.

It's reasonable to question the actions of one of the most powerful surveillance apparatuses the world has ever known.

Shopify also gave its employees $1000 to fund work-from-home office equipment. ie, chair, desk, screens ... A thousand bucks doesn't go very far in America.

Feels like the wrong thing to be paranoid with Facebook over.
