    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.

    This is exactly the kind of thing a loser would say. Loser CEOs are always whining about people leaving their platform. Winners keep their head down and build something their users actually enjoy using.

    “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.

      Imagine what Rockefeller and Carnegie would have tweeted about. You know they were crass, detached from reality hemorrhoid clusters, they just didn’t get to spew it to a global audience 900 times a day.

      They saw Elons return for a 230 million investment and want even more. Hopefully they overreach and we can finally rid ourselves of the billionaires.
