Meta va licencier 8 000 employés, environ 10 % de ses effectifs

#Meta a annoncé le 23 avril, le licenciement de 8 000 employés, soit 10 % de ses effectifs et la suppression de 6 000 postes vacants. La responsable des ressources humaines a justifié cette décision par la volonté de «gérer l’entreprise plus efficacement» face aux investissements massifs dans l’ #intelligenceartificielle https://www.la-croix.com/economie/meta-l-entreprise-va-licencier-8-000-employes-environ-10-de-ses-effectifs-20260423

Megalomaniacs - How the Tech World Turned Evil:

Once upon a time, they were counterculture idealists bringing power to the people. Today they’re greedy monopolists who’d sooner destroy our democracy than be reined in by government in any way—and they have to be stopped.

How the Tech World Turned Evil

Fuck Zuck!

Zuckerberg didn't create FaceBook. He stole code from the Winklevoss twins.

Zuckerberg sold out FaceBook user's data to Cambridge Analytica. Then appeared like a contrite schoolboy, before congress, saying, "Ooops! I didn't mean to accidentally cut Billion dollar deals to sell out FaceBook users, and influence the US elections in favor of Trump. Honest mistake! Won't do it again ( unless the money is right ).

All said and done, after the whole being caught red-handed and tried, and all the crocodile tears he cried, Zuckerberg still came out financially ahead on this corrupt deal.

Did his ethics change? Probably not. Meta is just more clever about being caught.

I have so many products from FaceBook, that were total scams. I ordered an electric lighter that was supposedly based on Tesla coil technology, and could charge from a USB port, and never needed any fuel. I got a cheap Chinese butane lighter. Zuckerberg's ethics didn't change.

What is a company like #Meta to do when it notices that 10% of it's income comes from advertising scams, illegal gambling & products?

ENCOURAGE IT & RAISE THE PRICES FOR THE CRIMINALS - OF COURSE!

Sadly the good times eventually had to end:
The Consumer Federation of America is going after Meta for it now!

Now it makes sense why #Zuckerberg dropped fact checking. You do not need guardrails when the aim is to boosts right wing content.
