The Facebook Fake-Out
21 hours ago
- Facebook/Meta repeatedly launches products violating privacy or consent.
- When caught, they pause and downplay the issue, then wait for attention to shift before relaunching.
- This pattern relies on short attention spans, lack of accountability, and the coercive power of platforms.
- The 'inevitability' strategy treats new technologies as unstoppable to push extreme plans.
- Former Facebook employees bring similar toxic behaviors to other companies like OpenAI.
- Identifying and naming the pattern is crucial to calling it out when it repeats.
