i am genuinely terrified at the scale at which the tech industry has the capability to absolutely fuck the entire world for profit
software developers _must_ unionize.
if we do not, the capitalist ruling class will force us to suck the world dry with our code exclusively for their benefit.
The scale that FB - and by extension its creepy fuckery - operates at is mind-boggling if you let yourself thing about it. They can redline entire cities. They can tank entire industries.
I don't even know what would happen if a more traditional business intel or advertising agency lied like this, because it's literally impossible to do it on that scale in any other context. Only Google is *maybe* in a similar position.
FB is actually getting sued over this, and the numbers coming out of the process are just unbelievable. They lied about analytics by like factors of ten in places.
Remember when FB lied to the entire internet publishing industry and said that everyone wanted to absorb a video with ad embeds instead of a few paragraphs of text, and they believed them for some reason, and the swaths of the industry are dead because they restructured around that? That was pretty wild
