I thought that was obvious tbh

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week 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

Honestly this pic is still too humanizing for him.

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

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

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

Whistleblower says water contains hydrogen

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

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

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

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

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 31 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

"whistleblower blows whistle"

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

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

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 week ago

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

And water is wet.

[–] FoxAlive@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (10 children)

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.

The word “duh” comes to mind.

In other news, water is wet and trump is incontinent

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

This changes EVERYTHING

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Aberration13@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

This is considered whistleblowing these days?

Whistleblower says water is wet

[–] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week 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.

[–] nobodysreadingthis@quokk.au 9 points 1 week ago

Genuinely hadn't noticed.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

No shit. He’s a perv.

[–] witnessradiant650@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He doesn’t let his kids use social media. Why do you think that is?

Nobody is shocked, yet nothing will ever be done.

Time for nukes from space.

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

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

[–] Mercury1337@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

No shit Sherlock!?

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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.

Many bothans died to bring us this information.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Other whistleblower says everyone else is pretending to be shocked.
