It’s about time this started happening! Facebook employees of HN, how about joining him?
But having on your resume that you left Facebook because of this would be the biggest status bump of all.

It’s a highly privileged position to be in to make a personal stand and leave your $250,000 job for another $250,000 job. Not judging this way or that, just saying.
Of course it is. Arguably the people with that privilege should have more obligation to exercise it in the service of what’s right.
If you resign from Facebook and don't tell anyone, have you really resigned?

it's much more than most people have done and having the skills to be payed $250,000 is not a privilege. you don't wake up one day knowing how to code it'a a lot of work.
It is privilege having a stable life to get there, but we're calling out this dude's privilege like he's Jeff Bezos throwing a million dollar coin to a witcher.
It's definitely a sacrifice to quit a nice job during a pandemic and nationwide riots.
Well said and all best wishes for the future. > My last day will be June 12th. Well ... it might just come a little sooner than that ;-) Much respect. I salute you.
Why would it come sooner? You think they would fire him a week early just so he can claim unemployment from them?

To me effectively everyone wins. Facebook users who want to curate their experience can do so. Facebook gets out of the censorship business so governments can lay off. Governments will have a hard time objecting because it is the users controlling their information, not the company. "Sources of truth" have to compete to get the customer's business.
Its hard but not that hard, and its Facebook's core business.

Whilst his stance is to be applauded, it lessens the value of the stance given that he’s not sacrificing much and won’t suffer for his cause. Doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do, just that it would carry more weight if he was leaving to go work at Burger King. Then you’d say “man that guy stands tall”. Edit: Ok reasonable criticism, I’ll withdraw.
You are literally the only person who thinks this.
