I really can’t overstate my contempt for Mark Z and fuckbook. It has done so much damage, amd completely unnecessarily. It could have just been a neutral place but for the greed of this cunt. Now it has been one of the key drivers in literally corroded society and destroying a consensual reality. I uureally think in an alternative timeline where soc med was started by someone who was not a lecherous fratboy with no morals, the world would be a significantly better place. Fuckerberg deserves jail or worse. Anyway, hopefully the end might be on sight. Even capitalism magazine is turning their back:

‘We didn’t set out to create..[division, misinformation, hatred] but we saw that it made money, so we just went with it. *shrug*. The externalised cost here is a functional society. I think, even using capitalism’s own highly insufficient accounting, the economic value he has destroyed for others should be enough to hoist him up on.

This person should make their code open source, or someone else shiuld build the same thing.Doesn’t seem hard.

From what I see, it is lots of ad revenue from Huel, Shen Yun, and some fancy wall mounted exercises machine.

I’m slowly deleting my FB contacts and removing all my content.

that's internal company code for "shred everything" isn't it?

maybe in tinfoil land. that's what's called a legal hold, and is required when a company is subject to pending legal action or regulatory investigation. it sounds scary, but is pretty mundane. i've gotten them at my job before.

yes, but there are still companies out there that would do that. in my industry, rules regarding document retention are actually required by federal law.

When I worked with lawyers at GE they couldn't received emails or voice mails because they let their inboxes fill up. The would only communicate verbally until they had to issue a formal document so no real paper trails would ever lead to them.

i never said there weren't ways around it. can't retain a document that doesn't exist.

edit: some orgs are able to work to counter that; for instance, there are ways to set up the email servers and backups to prevent an inbox from ever getting full (at least for active employees).

This is pretty much how the local city council (my landlord) operates when dealing with my business..... Anything not in a recorded format has a 50/50 chance of being deliberately misleading in my experience with them.

How toxic do you have to be so that all the other tech giants with their own dubious ethics start to try to keep their distance from you?

I believe so. NRA is trying the same approach.
