    Leopards/faces, etc. These people were fine with contributing their cogs to the evil machine that is facebook in exchange for a ridiculous salary, but now want it to be a big deal when it affects them more specifically.

      Typical Divide and conquer - Stop demonizing people who work for a living - it’s no different than demonizing every single American because of US foreign policy. Blame those at the top making their greedy decisions and the puppet masters behind them.

        Wrong. These people can’t handwave away their portion of responsibility for the current situation. They chose to lend their skills to a company with a long, well-documented track record of actions harmful to society. If you can get hired by one of the FAANG companies you could also get hired by nearly any company.

          maybe the users should shoulder some of that blame. I get working to pay the bills, but their users have no excuse.

          Not necessarily. There’s scores of people working for these companies that do content moderation, customer support and other jobs in this realm that are not quite as sought after and can’t easily switch jobs.
