Mark Zuckerberg did not address Meta’s $25 million settlement with Donald Trump that will see the company paying $22 million for the eventual establishment of the Trump Presidential Library.
My biggest surprise is that trump wants to establish a presidential library. Probably has some plan to steal the money from there.
I want to be able to be able to talk about stuff openly, but I am also trying to like, well, we’re trying to build stuff and create value in the world
PFFFFFFFHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
His presidential library is just going to be a bunch of fast food restaurant menus.
I'm reminded of this:
The king himself rode a horse and shot arrows at a deer. However, the horse stumbled, causing him to fall off, but he was not injured. Looking around, he said, "Do not let the historians know about this."

I hate Facebook and that they will ban people, without notice, unless they record a video selfie from multiple angles, and then still sometimes permanently ban people even then, without a way to pay to prove the person is real or talk to someone or even get a reason for the ban. I also think Facebook is an arm of the government and is not really a company (quasi-governmental) and is basically a corporate rebranding of LifeLog and Zuckerberg probably got a 1600 on his SATs and was recruited to join the government while in high school.
So that all being said, despite my hatred of Facebook, what he is saying isn't that illogical.
Let's say Zuckerberg personally supports trans rights and thinks Trump is an idiot. He can't say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be "value-destroying." Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don't hate trans people because they understand science and how prenatal hormone conditions and epigenetic conditions means that sometimes internal senses of gender don't match biological at birth sex. (Musk is the rare exception to this and it seems like his reaction comes from ego and anger about being estranged from his daughter and autism/lack of empathy, and so he's a weird data point that doesn't neatly fit if we take his reaction at face value.)
So let's say Zuckerberg wants to say "We support trans and gay people, we have to do this so Trump doesn't go after us to remain profitable and not end up needing to decrease our head count, I hate Trump." If he said that, someone would immediately leak it, Trump would go Ape Shit, and the company would lose value.
It's hard to know for certain if this is what he's talking about, but if he is, this isn't really something to fault him on.
Facebook labeling linux as somehow evil, on the other hand, is a bizarre and shitty thing to do, so fuck Facebook and fuck this asshole who is letting linux be labeled as a cybersecurity threat. I also think Facebook doing this is because government, which has backdoor is Microsoft and Apple, doesn't like linux and sees it growing in popularity and so I believe the government requested Facebook do this. I can't fathom a social media company would do this for no reason on their own, it makes no sense, but if Facebook is Lifelog and always has been Lifelog and Zuckerberg gets his orders from someone else, then it would make sense that they implement policies regarding labeling linux as bad to try to keep their backdoors in as many user's OSes as possible.
He can't say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be "value-destroying."
What's the point of having "Fuck You Money" if you don't say "Fuck you" when it matters?
they stopped the linux thing after backlash
What was the Linux thing?
do you have a attention span of 0.5 seconds?
Every other executive and most of the management in the country deals with this. Hell even the lowest level of workers deal with this in the opposite direction. Probably 3/4 of the white collar workforce deals with this.
We're all working under the same constraints here.
In my immediate private and professional spheres, I have a pretty good idea of who will or will not keep a secret. In that mental list, 10% of it is easily wrong that is highly situation-dependent. Each one of them that would pass the information on has their own private and professional sphere whom they think won't pass information.
It is simply not possible to pass information to your entire company without expecting it to get out.
It might piss him off but it's absolutely to be expected. If you want to tell your company that Trump has you by the balls without getting in trouble, you say: We have recently made some very controversial changes to our policies. We as a company do not support these controversial changes and and we are not able to disclose details about the situation, We are being coerced to make these changes, and we really have no choice other than to comply or severely modify the operation of our company.
That right there tells you what's going on, But in such a vague method that it can't be reported back to the orange goblin.
Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don’t hate trans people
Eh... intelligence is helpful, but in the end does not inoculate one against BS opinions. Musk is (supposedly) intelligent and toxic as hell, Richard Dawkins is (definitely) intelligent and a fucking TERF. fuck, Jordan Peterson (for all his faults) is a demonstrative intelligent man... he's just also an asshole and wrong about a multitude of things.
Even the Zuckerbot trends towards nazism
If I’d had to bet whether this was The Onion before clicking this link, someone would be breaking my knees next week.
This timeline is absurd.
Instead of wordle, we need onionle
Something like this? https://github.com/tiquthon/onion-or-not-the-onion-drinking-game-2
Some time ago this was also up, but now it isn't: https://github.com/SchaeStewart/OnionOrNot
Basically this search: https://github.com/search?q=onion+not+onion+game&type=repositories&s=updated&o=desc
People really do end up with the face they deserve.
No, his is far too unbruised, his nose isn't broken, and he appears to have all of his teeth.
It is also still attached to his shoulders
To the pain!
Hopefully we can also force him to use a 'murican hospital and have his healthcare plan deny paying anything. That would be fun
Oh the irony
I had an uncle that had a problem with leaking. Ended up just having to wear a diaper everywhere.
Your uncle is Donald Trump?
If he had the right plumbing then a zip tie would have also worked.
I can imagine that works well. Once.
Technically, it's a permanent fix

Good people don't turn their backs on their ethics and beliefs for money, even if it's a lot of money
double post
“There are a bunch of things that I think are value-destroying for me to talk about, so I’m not going to talk about those…”
Well have you thought about not being a piece of shit 😂
