They could always just make a ruckus in the parking lot, but let’s be clear: RSUs speak louder than employee principles.

Oh here we go

It doesn’t apply to anyone, it’s now part of the ideology of what Timu Orange Leader wants.

I believe that this announcement is, in large part, a play connected with the AI profiles thing. He knows they're going to be agents of misinformation. So, this is not a defence of free speech as much as an abdication of responsibility - which he somehow thinks we can't see.

Free speech these days always means the “right” kind of speech. Emphasis on right.

sounds like twitter staff were but Meta is far far larger than that is. He can do this at the moment in the US as no real alternative to FB but no wonder some want Tik Tok banned, threads is done for now.

If/when BlueSky creates an Insta spin-off, Facebook's road to Friendsterdom will rapidly accelerate. The advertising dollars will dry up real quick as actual users leave.

Who do we talk to about this. 😂 Because Insta was actually great and fun, especially pre FB takeover. Hell, I’d subscribe for that.

With ATProto, anyone is free to build their own Insta competitor...

That's what I was hoping thr answer would be.

Yes. With a sustainable business plan and investment that is not chasing unrealistic payoffs.

Hypocrisy from a high level executive at a large company? The question is who DIDN'T have that on their Bingo card?

How dare you expect consistency!

When he says "free speech" he's talking about these two.

They're free to speak. The rest of us will be forced to listen.

Another parallel to Musk.

caludio.social•50 days ago

They are all aligning like bro-planets in the shittiest planet system there is.

melondc.bsky.social•50 days ago

Such a wimp, that Zuck.

realperrygrossman.bsky.social•50 days ago

FB is gonna get even worse.

hulkling-she-her.bsky.social•49 days ago

we need to call it for what it is, free HATE speech because that’s what they mean

oraclestwin.bsky.social•50 days ago

“Free speech” here is doublespeak. Call it out for what it will be - just like X - free until you disagree with those in charge and the rest will be propaganda.
