How strange that the NYT article was about how they tried to pull other companies under the bus when they had privacy issues, and here Alex Stamos is pointing out that "most tech companies", "a lot of parties", "mass media", "NYT/WaPo/ESJ/TV", all failed too and should get the attention instead. The only thing missing is him saying Soros funded the GRU.

I know Alex Stamos left the company at this point, but he has every incentive to toe the party line on this, since his reputation could personally take a hit for his involvement.

Alex Stamos is a big part of the problem.

The excellent and thorough NYT piece eviscerates FB leadership for employing the same sleazy disinformation tactics to defend themselves that FB failed to stop when weaponized by political actors.

Stamos has the gall to deflect Facebook's culpability by blaming responsible media outlets for getting compromised by the very disinfo that Stamos himself utterly failed to detect or stop during his tenure.

It's beyond irony or satire, it's fucking ridiculous that this guy still has a platform.

"Delay, Deny and Deflect" indeed.

Yeah, I applaud his early efforts at uncovering some of this, but why didn't he do more? He should have taken his concerns to leadership sooner, pushed for more action, and notified authorities that a foreign entity was infiltrating the information pipeline. There's a new theme is all of this. It's not "too big to fail." Now, it's "too big to care."
