20 years ago, a piece of shit like Mark Zuckerberg would have used a similarly meaningless term like “political correctness” instead. Made no sense then and makes no sense now. What is the problem exactly? Is there something wrong with having an ethical framework and applying it consistently? Or, having standards? Using this framing, any ideological viewpoint is inherently bad, including the nihilistic and hypocritical one that Zuckerberg himself is expressing here. It’s all just nonsense, and further evidence that the economy that plied this asshole with so much wealth is anything but a meritocracy.
The kind of people who would be bothered by being accused of “Virtue Signaling” are also the kind of people who are aligned with the rise of fascism and enabling of racism on the platform. But do go on acknowledging that working for Meta is itself an immoral position.
So he has confirmed that Meta is, as whole, a negative hasn’t he?
Why didn’t he just say anyone who quits Meta smells like poo-poo and pee-pee? That would at least be funny.
LMFAO virtue signal deez nuts. Fuckerberg.
I haven’t had Facebook in 10 years lol. I don’t have a vote on this one.
Don’t virtue signal me, bro!
What I find delicious is that he is implicitly stating that being on any Meta platform is not virtuous.
Zuck is a fucking piece a shit. But the headline and article misrepresents what he was saying. His actual quote was “Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling” and appears to be directed towards users, not Meta employees.
It’s kinda crazy how fast he’s unraveling into the right-wing griftersphere. Does Thiel or Putin have something on him?
maybe he just feels comfortable letting the facade drop
Exactly. Zucc was always a POS. I mean, FB got its start so he could rate the “hotties” on campus…
“Signaled” my “virtue” in 2016. Fuck you, zuck.
I virtue signaled 7 years ago when the whole Cambridge Analytica scandal broke, realizing that Facebook is a seedy company that can’t be trusted.
Same, also, Zuckerberg has always been a sketch ball who does anti-social and user hostile things with his app, so it was just years of being fed up with that. 2017 was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
When I was a teen, I thought anyone who joins it is virtue signaling.
No its called having morals and standing by them. Virtue signaling is when you pay lip-service to a cause and don’t walk the walk. Almost like zuck doing his dei stuff when it was popular and doing a 180 as soon as it becomes slightly unpopular.
I think it is quite beautiful to see how much <some politically, even if self-perceived, powerful person who is a moral trashheap> falls into the usual strong narcisism tendencies of projection.
Lotta reasons and responses here i plan on using for when i finally make my “fuck you all i quit” post this weekend.
Your hubris is showing, Fuckerberg.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls him that. Same think.
“Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling, but I think the vast majority and many new users will find that these changes make the products better”
So he’s stripping away protections for marginalised groups to appeal to the “vast majority” who, by definition, don’t need these protections and are in no way negatively impacted by their existence. Got it, and fuck you very much.
