facebook is evil

Meta told its North America-based employees to work from home Wednesday as it geared up for a second round of layoffs that will immediately cut 4,000 jobs — part of a plan to eventually cull 10,000 jobs.

Facebook’s parent company told managers that announcements on the layoffs — part of CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to make the firm more efficient — would be made as soon as Wednesday, according to Bloomberg News.

I don’t celebrate anyone losing their job but like Twitter Meta is a peopled with SJW’s who think nothing of denying others the right to free speech.

“We were just sitting there”

In the last 5 years, Big Tech firms came under heavy pressure to publicize the racial and gender demographics of their workforce and to improve their numbers. That’s hard when your workforce is mostly white, Asian and Indian. This story may shed some light on how Facebook went about improving its numbers.

Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, said on Tuesday that it planned to lay off about 10,000 employees, or roughly 13 percent of its work force, the latest move to hew to what the company’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has called a “year of efficiency.”

The layoffs will affect Meta’s recruiting team this week, with a restructuring of its tech and business groups to come in April and May, Mr. Zuckerberg said in a memo posted on the company’s website. The announcement is the company’s second round of cuts within the past half year. In November, Meta laid off more than 11,000 people, or about 13 percent of its work force at the time.

Honestly this whole Metaverse crap sounds like 3D movies, the novelty wears off real quick.

We still through some weird miracle have an FB page but we are as always hanging by a thread.

We have been so throttled it is a wonder anyone can even find us.

FB was always shitty for us, constant censorship for our constant violations of community guidelines which translates you upset the Gay Muslim Mask Advocates.

Facebook has auto-created the pages of designated terrorist organizations including ISIS and al-Qaeda for years, according to a new report.

The Tech Transparency Project (TTP) investigation comes less than a week before the Supreme Court hears a landmark case, which examines the responsibility of tech companies for policing terrorism online, and shows how the presence of terror groups continues to linger on Facebook despite years of pressure to remove that content. 

I get a very real sense that FB is dying.

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, will reinstate former President Donald Trump’s account “in coming weeks,” Meta’s president of global affairs told Axios.

“We’ve always believed that Americans should be able to hear from the people who want to lead the country,” Nick Clegg told Axios. “We don’t want to stand in the way of that.”

Mark Zuckerberg apologized to Meta workers after sending an early morning email confirming thousands of job losses amid soaring costs and a weak advertising market.

The Facebook founder told executives in a meeting yesterday that broad cuts of 11,000 jobs will be announced, with recruiting and business teams to face major losses.

Zuckerberg, 38, was said to have appeared gloomy on the call and also said he was accountable for missteps made by Meta.

Billions have been wasted on this joyless and flawed VR experience.

Mark Zuckerberg currently sees himself as the chief architect of an elaborate new fantasy world. He calls this world the Metaverse. And he desperately wants the rest of us to start meeting and trading in this virtual-reality frontier town. Last year, he even changed the name of Facebook’s parent company to Meta, just to show how serious he was about the whole enterprise.

Yet while Zuckerberg is pouring billions into the Metaverse to make this vision a reality, back home at Meta HQ, Rome burns. What began as murmurs of discontent have become a full-blown revolt.

Facebook is planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week that will affect thousands of employees with an announcement planned as early as Wednesday.

Facebook parent company Meta Platforms Inc forecast a weak holiday quarter and significantly more costs next year wiping about $67 billion off Meta’s stock market value, adding to the more than half a trillion dollars in value already lost this year.

The disappointing outlook comes as Meta is contending with slowing global economic growth, competition from TikTok, privacy changes from Apple, concerns about massive spending on the metaverse and the ever-present threat of regulation.

I’m no tech visionary but this Metaverse virtual reality thing sounds like a repackaged “3D Movies” hustle. It seems every 15 or 20 years some joker resurrects “3D Movies.” A couple of films make some money but the novelty wears off in a hurry.

I didn’t want to wear 3D Goggles to watch a movie in my living room so why do I want to wear them now to walk about in a pointless virtual environment which if it’s anything like FB will be as tasteless as a bowl of cold mush.

OTTAWA — The Heritage minister’s parliamentary secretary accused Facebook of threatening Canadians’ safety, after the company said it could pull news off its platform in response to a bill that would force it to share revenue with news publishers.

Facebook (now known as Meta) reported a second straight quarterly revenue decline, with its stock plummeting an astonishing 22 percent in morning trading after already losing two-thirds of its value this year so far.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said on Tuesday that it had discovered and taken down what it described as the first targeted Chinese campaign to interfere in U.S. politics ahead of the midterm elections in November.

Unlike the Russian efforts over the last two presidential elections, however, the Chinese campaign appeared limited in scope — and clumsy at times.

Satire site The Babylon Bee posted a funny photo of Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis wearing laced collars to honor the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The posted meme was a snapshot of a two-year-old Bee article published Sept. 22, 2020. According to Facebook, the joke was “false information.”
