I don't have any sort of high horse to get on, so I don't plan to talk shit to FB engineers for this. But holy shit I hope I don't ever again see them out and about on Twitter moralizing against company XYZ for signing some ICE contract, or similar.

You will definitely see me out and about on Twitter moralizing against company XYZ for signing an ICE contract :)

I mean you do you, but ... you might want to get your own house in order before bothering people about theirs.

You’re asking me to quit or somehow change Facebook’s problematic internal processes and public image, before I criticise other companies?

No. I'm know you can't change Facebook, and I'm not naive enough to expect you to leave such a sweet gig as Facebook, even if they are a uniquely evil corporation. I'm just saying maybe extend the same empathy to others (esp at companies much less evil than yours)

I can criticize companies without shitting on the employees. They aren’t the same. I obviously have empathy for them, I’m literally in the same position.

Anyway, you aren’t raising any new points that we didn’t already discuss in this thread. Unless there are other Facebook employees calling out ICE then this was a subtweet.https://twitter.com/sebmck/status/1181799718071889920?s=21 …

Not a sub-tweet against you, specifically. I've seen others do similarly. It's like this guy really, really nails it. Does Zuck's bullshit gee-shucks routine really blind you all to how truly vile a corporation Facebook is?https://twitter.com/moonpolysoft/status/1187236967806722048 …

Grim Contango @moonpolysoftif some coke addled sales guy with chiclet teeth told you, "hey we can't fact check political ads it wouldn't be, like ethical" you'd tell him to strap a feedbag of shit to his face and refuse to do the work when slingblade mark says it you can't help but buy his childlike wonderShow this thread2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

It does not. Why are you making assumptions on how I’ve personally interpreted the actions and behaviour of Facebook executives?

Because you’ve thought badly enough about a GitHub ICE contract to call it out, while staying happily in place at a company that does things orders of magnitude worse.

You’re just saying the same thing over and over again without acknowledging anything I’m saying.

I acknowledge everything ur saying; I'm saying it's incoherent. Facebook is a uniquely evil corporation that does shit with impunity that would have been unimaginable 10 years ago. To earn a fat paycheck there, while having the gaul to criticize other companies is ridiculous.

But if you don't, someone else will (work there), so go for it. Like I said, I *don't* call out FB engineers for working there. Just maybe think twice before mounting a moral high horse?
