Meta's forthcoming layoffs will reportedly eliminate about 10% of its workforce, even as Q1 profits hit $26.8 billion and AI spending rockets toward $145 billion this year alone.
I have never used Facebook, because I actually read their terms of use. And they were disgusting from day 1.
But that absolutely doesn’t mean I don’t know about the company. I’d argue that working in the company only marginally increases your knowledge of it from a personal anecdotal experience, that may even skew your perception of the company.
You can’t understand a company, just by being inside and be 1 of 70000 employees.
I’d argue that already early on I knew more than many that worked there, just by actually reading their terms, and understand the mindset behind them.
I also have the age and experience to have followed Facebook and Zuckerberg, and his appearances before congress, the fines that have been issued by EU, and many other things where it has been proven that Facebook is a shitty company.
For instance their role in the first election of Trump, and cooperation with Cambridge Analytica.
Generally a company that is total shit towards customers and children and even authorities and a population as a whole, and displays a shitty personality in general, will also be shitty towards their employees when it counts.

Yeah okay, guy. You know more about it than people with direct experience. In fact their direct experience only clouds their minds!
You have a dangerous kind of arrogance. The kind that makes you think you know what’s best for others more than they do just by your piercing insight.
You also patently don’t understand how to read a TOS. They are by design incredibly over-reaching and self-interested to the exclusion of the rights of others. This is a legal fiction they reserve in advance so that no matter the eventuality, they can claim you agreed to it. It represents the uttermost limit of what they can imagine. Not the center of gravity of what it’s like to work there.
Anyway, I don’t need to hear more about how your insight penetrates the world from the comfort of your chair.
You bet I know how to read terms of service agreements, I even had a major dispute over it with Autodesk in the mid 90’s. With the company I had started with a friend.
And after a couple communications they stopped making demands against us, because their fucking terms of service was illegal, which here in Denmark defaults the whole thing.
So stop making claims about what people know and don’t, the Facebook terms of service was equally illegal here, but there is no way to stop an American company to abuse your information as an ordinary civilian.
