    Enough has been said about the dogshit company doing this. That’s a lost cause. At this point, you know what you’re signing up for if you’re getting in bed with Meta. In a sane world, the company should crash and burn - but yet it doesn’t. So what’s wrong with the people who still use Meta’s services? What’s wrong with the people still willing to work at this dumpster fire? They’re a part of the problem.

    “We will only re-enable MCI when we are confident in the effectiveness of our data protection controls,” Stephane Kasriel, a Meta vice president overseeing AI research, told employees Monday, according to Wired. Kasriel said the company discovered and resolved the issue last week, but that the  initial fix didn’t work.

    Temporary pause on the program. It will be back on by next week I bet. Also, at this this point, if you work for meta, it is getting harder and harder to feel bad for you.

      Why would you feel bad for anyone working for Meta at this point? They’ve been the bad guy for well over a decade. There is zero excuse. If you are still working for them you are complicit in evil and you deserve everything that happens to you.
