Re:Facebook whistleblower hearing: Frances Haugen testifies ... by bobthechef on Tuesday October 05, 2021 @04:56PM (#28765515)
Discussion is generally favorable over war, as long as the truth isn’t being sacrificed for the sake of avoiding accusations. To say that Facebook hasn’t been engaged in bad behavior is, I think, a bit of a stretch though. “Systemic” can be used in the same way that bureaucracies do to avoid responsibility: no one is responsible for the actual state of affairs personally, at least that’s the claim. But ol’ Zuck has been aware of many problems, grilled over them, etc, etc, so we’re not dealing with innocent people here if there is any guilt here. I am not making accusations, but if I were feeling the heat, I might go into damage control and maybe “allow” a sympathetic whistleblower to steer change in a way that softens the outcome.
