What's really unhinged is the amount of resources invested into gaslighting Meta does. https://about.fb.com/news/2024/01/investing-in-privacy/
They even have a "Chief Privacy Officer". They have brainwashed entire departments into believing that Meta actually cares about privacy, it's so terrifying. I wonder if people working there realize that, or they have simply fell for the gaslighting.
I wouldn’t doubt that the CPO is trying their hardest to convince people to care but people just dont
Yeah that's often the problem. They hire people who care and are good at the stuff so they can point to them and say "we really do care as a company" and then they aren't given the leverage they need inside the company to implement real changes
