The fuck? I can’t imagine anyone at Meta, a company full of smart people in the bay area, actually wanted to work with people like that?

Just how intertwined those corporations are with the government? Between this and the sudden shift against DEI policies even in companies who are staunch supporters of diversity I wonder what kinda pressure the gov is applying

They didn't do it willingly. His hiring was part of a settlement for an AI defamation case [1]

They work under Zuck. They know what content moderation is required and not provided. They're more about "do I have profitable work" than who someone on the business side is. Plenty of Thiel people in the Bay Area.

You mean except their boss which has a long history with having problematic idea and just learned to not say it publicly?

I have been staying away from Meta because I think of Zuck as a dangerous ideologist with money since ~10+ years (through not anit-LBTGQ specific). I'm not surprised at all.

Well, he has 3 kids right? Let’s hope for their sake they’re not anywhere in the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
