I laughed

They sold it under the condition he wouldn't lie, it was a condition for him to have it, and he lied

Yes but the original founders did that. Zuckerberg took it from them and immediately lied about data sharing, there's a reason why the founders left in disgust

The problem with Facebook's products always comes down to one overriding fact, Zuckerberg's desire to win over everybody else; he's constantly been accused of stealing from people,…

[flagged]

Sure, network effects are hard to overcome; my point is that Zuckerberg bought it as a competition killing move so they're not likely to put any quality control into it

But why would anyone use Whatsapp after the Onavo stuff?

I think people are missing the point when they call Metaverse a 'misstep' because it implies Zuckerberg was a good actor who just happened to get this one thing wrong... if you loo…

My first impression of this is literally "So, maybe a good idea, but isn't this Zuckerberg just copying yet another person like he's always done forever?"

He's not high, he's been treating people like contempt ever since Harvard, this isn't new

Forcing a mandatory Facebook account is "doing an ok job"...?

Lots of suspiciously downvoted comments here.

The thing is, I wouldn't want to use Whatsapp considering how Facebook got it: spy on people with Onavo and then basically pressure the original founders out of the company, and th…

And I bet if it was only Apple's iOS changes they would be fine, but that combined with Zuck's Metaverse obsession is dragging them under

But given his history of acquiring the product he has no right to talk; what he did is blatantly criminal

lol. Zuck, you spied on people with Onavo and kicked Acton and Koum out of the company, you have no moral standing whatsoever

A lot of websites are like this for products, it makes it really tedious to navigate

Is this Moxie's decision?

Google has a lot of failures of their own but they seem at least semi-committed to an open internet (with actual ethical standards), something I can't exactly say for Zuckerberg

And yet Meta was involved with things like Free Basics, or forcing the Oculus account with a bait and switch, and repeatedly lying about Whatsapp - but I'm sure this Instagram thin…

Yeah, but specifically Zuckerberg. He's never cared about other people

I'm seeing a few posts here that basically they have to do this because it's an ad service, it's for shareholders, etc. When are we going to blame Zuck and his unique brand of dish…

Or legally required to provide a chronological feed, which even logged-in users don't get

Incentive? How about "don't be monopolistic assholes"?

Take down some of the most egregious pages and disinformation? No, we (Facebook/Meta) will waste our time shutting down anything remotely challenging to our monstrosity we're tryin…
