I thought that was obvious tbh

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago

It's only obvious to the 99.9% of humanity who are not oligarchs, so obviously the criminal predators will never have to face consequences for their crimes.

I thought this was every argument for child safety by everyone ever tbh

Think of the children! -Every disingenuous conservative ever

Mark Zuckerberg only pretends to care about anything.

Honestly this pic is still too humanizing for him.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 83 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He's pretending to care? He's doing a terrible job at that, too

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

He's doing his best human impression. It's not much but it's all he has.

"whistleblower blows whistle"

[–] ameen272@thelemmy.club 47 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Whistleblower says water contains hydrogen

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I hadn't registered it as a performance of caring.

🫂 everyone who gets to those levels of wealth is a horrible person and a seasoned liar.

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I couldn't tell what he was trying to lie about, just that he was lying about something.

Yeah absolutely, and the more proof of what we know that we can gather, the less manoeuvring they can do to get around it. Corruption can't exist blatantly or they wouldn't invest so much in propaganda. It's certainly does exist blatantly, but then it's about a power struggle. Ultimately they need 'us' (collectively not individually) to engage to a degree, to say the benefits outweigh the costs. To keep using Facebook because the algorithms have caused addiction and our friends are on there. If anything overpowers that drive, and we all collectively turn away. They cease to exist. I mean obviously that's why they try so desperately to intricate themselves in politics and weapons, an oroborous.

We need this information, collectively. We need society wide disgust.

Well no shit. To him, or any billionaire, empathy is impossible and even sympathy is a tall order.

[–] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 9 points 4 days ago

if you take away their wealth what have most of these celeb billionaires accomplished? zuck created a website that got popular that wasn't even the first of its kind. it was just popular...

and if it disappeared tomorrow i wouldn't give two fucks. humanity survived for thousands of years without facebook and instagram and it hasn't been a benefit to society. it didn't solve a problem that needed to be solved--we already had myspace and photobucket and the local classified ads.

why are we treating rich people like celebrities just for being rich, especially ones who don't impact your life in any positive way? that's the real issue.

i never knew who the CEO or creator of gillette was even though i shave my face every day. that guy deserves more recognition.

Literally the only way they can make any of this right when the bubble pops and shit starts hitting the fan is public execution.

Musk, bezos, Altmann, zuckerman, etc.

Nothing they do short of that is going justify all the damage they caused to the world, I don't think we will be able to move past it unless they where executed, or at the very least have to spend 5 counts of life time sentences in solitary confinement with no parole, work release, etc.

I mean it's nice to have someone who actually knew Zuckerberg say the quiet part out-loud, but anyone who surprised to hear this must've been living under a rock for the last decade.

Corporations have never cared about the children. In other countries, the same corps that preach about caring for children have them working as slaves in factories. Don't think for a second that they care.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 33 points 5 days ago

Wait......were we all not already on the same page about that? Am I supposed to gasp here?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

This is the same level of shocking scandal when they revealed that rich people were paying to have their children admitted to universities.

Even if this is obvious, I’m really glad more people are coming forward with evidence, testimony, and details. It takes a lot of courage to step forward as a whistleblower and I’m happy they did.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 19 points 5 days ago

And water is wet.

[–] zerofk@lemmy.zip 15 points 5 days ago

The word “duh” comes to mind.

Many bothans died to bring us this information.

We should now ask them if they have any evidence that water is wet

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 days ago

This changes EVERYTHING

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Whistleblower says Wolf in sheep costume just pretending to be a sheep.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago

you mean the android and his human wife sitting at a dinner tale with infamous epstein, thiel, musk, and other pedophiles care.

[–] Aberration13@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

This is considered whistleblowing these days?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Nobody is shocked, yet nothing will ever be done.

Time for nukes from space.

I mean….he did get us his start by rating his classmates on hotness and stealing the idea for Facebook.

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 9 points 5 days ago

Genuinely hadn't noticed.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 5 points 4 days ago

I mean, you often need people with direct knowledge of obvious things to say them in court under oath.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

That's utterly unsurprising

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

We've known this since 2014, when an actual whistleblower told the public that FB was experimenting on its users without their knowledge or consent, and the result of those experiments is why Meta is currently being sued.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

No shit. He’s a perv.

[–] Hellgruen@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago

Whistleblower says water is wet

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago

Wake me up when there’s something really new news.

Pretty wild they are advertising teen accounts while being sued for a quarter trillion dollars for ruining kids lives.
