Domestic terrorists hate it that corporations have sophisticated anti-terror operations.

It sucks that corporations have to take this on themselves, but that's just the world we live in. It's no mystery why these people fled the CIA for private industry during the Trump era.

Strange comment. I don't see anything about domestic terrorism in the linked thread.

That's because the author of the linked thread is being intentionally misleading about the careers and expertise of these individuals, and what they do as corporate executives.

I wonder what domestic terror operations these brave content moderators have thwarted.

Feel free to look through here: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21083819/facebook-dan...

Keyword is "armed militia". You can look a few of them up on Google to see what they get up to.

People yell at Meta when they don't moderate content and when they do moderate content, so I don't envy them.

The CIA was unable to stop an armed militia storming the Capitol, the insurgents failed due to their own incompetence.

Or do they turn a blind eye when the former CIA director has a cabinet position?
