A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Probably not but these cowardly sociopaths are more mortified of exposure and embarrassment than anything else. Like cockroaches when the lights are tuned on.

You got any more info on that? I've not heard of Meta's involvement there but it sadly wouldn't surprise me

Harder to diffuse the responsibility when it is about crimes directly committed by specific people than something the orphan-crushing machine did.

Same way social murder is rationalized away.
