Amazon, Apple, Netflix or Google are not even in the same ballpark of evil and destructive to humanity as Facebook. Facebook literally adds nothing enriching to our lives other than just being a vampire hanging over everyone's head. I'd have no problem working for any of the other faangs (as a matter of fact I did work for one of them until a couple of years ago) but I'd never consider working at Facebook.

I don't know. Do you remember the Foxconn due to the low pay and abuse they were getting to make Apple products? Or how Apple is trying to restrict our software freedoms with walled gardens and lawsuits? Everything they do is about controlling the narrative, the market, the ecosystem. If they had beat Microsoft in the 1990s, we'd be in a very different dystopia right now. Seems worse than a company that makes optional ad-supported social networking products.

Unpopular opinion but I think some parts of Facebook like creating events, groups (to some extent) and messaging are super useful. The problem is that the newsfeed (which is arguably the most damaging part) is what Facebook pushes the most because that's where all the ads are.
