Good.

Hope this initiative fails spectacularly.

Using employees instead of contractors because they produce higher-quality data sounds less clever after you leak the employees' data.
Keyloggers collect sensitive data? Some really sharp insight coming out of FB HQ here

Stupid plan yields stupid results

This leak coming after all the reassurances that the intitiative passed privacy review and wouldn't be a leak risk is soo damning.

Not only have the employees lost faith in the executive's integrity, but their basic competency as well.

Does anyone, ever, have any faith in the integrity or competence of executives, these days? Because it seems to me that most people would outright prefer them to burn but are powerless against the increasing abuses and betrayals of employees.
In the history of humanity management has never been competent at scale. Entropy gives rise to signal attenuation which gives rise to generational churn which collapses empires and businesses

All these people had was ZIRP and preferential taxation, and the even more ignorant masses imaginations to manipulate

The ability has never been there because no real goal is there to build around; endless forever existence of Facebook and Meta? So like with Christianity, 2000 years from now people need to keep preaching to Saint Zuck's mind palace?

That's not a real goal. Most SaaS companies existed only to serve a political meme of "create jobs".

Whether you're a consumer, employee, or enterprise IT, in today's data-rich world, it can be difficult to tell if your information is really being stored securely.

I'm therefore proud to announce my new, AI-powered startup to help you navigate the modern privacy landscape. It's called Nope™. If you're concerned about privacy, make sure Nope™ is the first thing you think of.

It's easy to get started! Whenever you find yourself asking, "Is this company really storing my data securely?", your next thought should be: "Nope™"

It really makes you wonder why anyone still wants to work there. The only reason I can imagine people are staying is because they're afraid they can't get work anywhere else.
i still laugh thinking that once, during my life, working for facebook was coveted and respected.
ayy lmao play stupid games win stupid prizes
The tried and trusted “Move fast and break things”…
Does Mark Zuckerberg have his keystrokes tracked ?
Meta sounds incredibly dystopian. Like a Black Mirror episode in real life!
"The incident was classified as a SEV 2 on a scale of 0 to 5, with 0 being the most severe."

Only 2?

Yeah it only affects a few plebs.
Hmm, also saying the scale is 0 to 5 is... something. In my experience, which was a while ago, no one cares about SEV 3, and I only ever saw SEV 4 used as a placeholder or TODO list. Never came across a SEV 5 in the world. It's really "SEV 2 on a scale of 0 to 3".
