I bet the rank and file are not enraged by this and I would guess that the majority probably agree that Meta should not exploit children.

What the rank and file thinks is basically inconsequential to corporations.

And yet what the spokesperson said remains the official stance of Facebook, whether the rank and file agree or not. C'est la vie.

Are you trying to say that they are just following orders?

They will be enraged when Meta needs to cut jobs due to loss of revenue.

I agree that Meta should not exploit children, or society at large.

That's why I don't work there though. Don't think the "rank and file" have much leg to stand on, its a decade of this shit.

Yet they continue to work there and contribute to the codebase which does such, so we should at least infer that they believe it is OK even if they might not think it is great (and if they don't want us to infer such they should either stop doing it or, at very minimum, speak out against it).
