Hah, thanks for noticing.

The challenge I think is that for any individual the power/information dynamic is vastly against them.

Taken to an extreme, one just ends up poor and ostracized (best case!) and made no difference at all.

Any individual in Russia trying to stop the machine that attacked Ukraine would have accomplished nothing but their own destruction. If all the folks against it had taken action, it would have been stopped.

Which is why coordination to do that was, has been, and will continue to be, illegal and targeted by extensive gov’t security apparatus’s.

Not to say Meta is the Russian gov’t, but rather that for any potential employee, their incentive is always to get paid the most and go with the flow, and hope nothing too bad happens.

Taking idealogical stances can be high risk, low reward.
