Enough good? You are joking, right?

They also kick off a ton of other nefarious things we are still paying for.



Yea this has to be a joke. They are one of the worst, no-good companies of the modern day and age


There are definitely evil ones but there are okish ones as well.


read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams and see if you still consider them “okish”.


That book is hilarious. In a bad way. (Not the book. I mean that it's a bit tragic) Zuck refuses to meet with WORLD LEADERS in the morning because he's tired from the night before. Kaplan can't even find certain countries on a map (head of global policy). Zuck changes a speech midway through to talk about "We'll give Facebook to refugees"

The internet is this vast, intellectual (in the academic, university, .edu sense), cypherpunk, government/activist... thing. It should be interesting. Instead the best we have for social networking is Mark "they trust me; dumb fucks" Zuckerberg and you getting banned from the site at any time for any reason


> Mark "they trust me; dumb fucks" Zuckerberg

There's also Mark "company over country" Zuckerberg.


Competely agree. React and whatever else they've open sourced is inconsequential compared to the harm they've caused.


I'd also argue React is on the "harm" side. :P


Check out the 'explaining react's license' thread and all the complaints over that
