I quit Facebook years ago because it’s a shitty website full of spam.
IG has gone down the same path. It’s like 70% suggested/sponsored content that’s worthless at best if not disinfo, propaganda, fraud, etc.
Fash make trash.
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.
I quit before virtue signalling was a term that people used to describe things they don’t like. I wonder what he would have called it back around 2012?
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.
Nah man, clearly you missed the memo that we now just take every statement out of it’s obvious context and straw man the shit out of everything.
It hurts every real argument against these people when people make stupid arguments like this.
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.
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.
When I was a teen, I thought anyone who joins it is virtue signaling.
Your hubris is showing, Fuckerberg.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls him that. Same think.
