> I used to be on a team that was responsible for the care and feeding of a great many Linux boxes which together constituted the "web tier" for a giant social network. You know, the one with all of the cat pictures... and later the whole genocide thing and enabling fascism. Yeah, them.

I love how people are so willing to criticise companies that paid their salary but not their willingness to ignore the issues in the name of the fat paycheque.

This is clearly a reference to Meta, and in that sense the writing has been on the wall for years.

I wonder if the author feels or takes any responsibility in directly enabling that genocide and that fascism with their direct work.

But hey, a fat paycheque is a fat paycheque.
