#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wanted to share a note I wrote to everyone at our company. --- Hey everyone: it's been quite a week, and I wanted to share some thoughts with all of you. First, the SEV that took down all our services yesterday was the worst outage we've had in years. We've spent the past 24 hours debriefing how we can strengthen our systems against this kind of failure. This was also a reminder of how much our work matters to peop…
Did anyone edit or proof this beyond maybe spelling an grammar? It comes across as incredibly sophomoric and petty. Moreover it reads like the nervous retort of someone who isn’t used to being questioned or contradicted. This seems like exactly the wrong tone at the moment. Honestly as a tech person, I’m concerned that he really makes the rest of us look like shit.
Honestly, it sounds like he is completely disconnected from reality.

#43Commander BGP (aka DATA) entered the "sleep" command. The faceborgs found they can't enter building, connect to the collectives or take over the Galaxy.

#44Translation and TL;DR: It’s business as usual and your privacy is going to pay for it.
Now login back into Facebook and keep on scrolling!

#45This was my favorite: “If we wanted to ignore research, why would we create an industry-leading research program to understand these important issues in the first place”
"If I supposedly murdered my wife, why would I put a $1mm bounty on finding the killer?"

#46Here’s my statement: Fuck off.
Love the Dirty Harry vibes of this comment.

#47> If we wanted to ignore research, why would we create an industry-leading research program to understand these important issues in the first place?
> If we wanted to hide our results, why would we have established an industry-leading standard for transparency and reporting on what we're doing?
This is HILARIOUSLY out of touch with reality.
You don't call someone a whistleblower if the reports they leaked were TRANSPARENT and PUBLIC.
Seriously what is wrong with this man? Does he have any clue whatsoever what impact that his majority control over Facebook has over the behavior of the world?

#48Three minutes of my life I'm never going to get back. You can stop reading by paragraph two at "We care deeply about issues like safety, well-being and mental health." All Facebook cares about is engagement.
Yeah. The second paragraph honestly just made me dislike him and want to close my account.
Wow, you must be new here.

"When I reflect on our work, I think about the real impact we have on the world -- the people who can now stay in touch with their loved ones, create opportunities to support themselves, and find community. This is why billions of people love our products. I'm proud of everything we do to keep building the best social products in the world and grateful to all of you for the work you do here every day." this is cherry…
I mean, what else is he going to say?
"We just don't care. We will keep milking our users no matter what."

#50For me, it's the almost complete lack of guilt or awareness that his company has caused pain and even death. Yes, FB and its acquisitions have brought many many good things to my life and to the lives of others. They have also brought a lot of pain to me and to others as well. No service only provides good. He doesn't seem to say this.
Instead of him trying to remind us "we do good things" I wish he would also say "and with any platform so large, we are going to make decisions that will hurt people. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our culture that we may not be aware of the pain we're causing to others and, while the research can help, sometimes we still miss it. Judging by the backlash of many people here, while many feel very grateful for FB, some may feel a lot of pain when thinking of our services and we want to do better and we need your help."
Something that expresses some hint of awareness that many people are being hurt and a desire to take the lead to try to fix it.
