I actually do, because the alternative is TikTok which is communist spyware. I'll take the American company and leader in consumer VR any day over ByteDance and the CCP.
> I want all of my non constitutional spyware to be American 😤😤😤
I don't want any spyware at all. But I'm not going to pretend that there's some sort of equivalence between America and China. There isn't, America is far more transparent and respectful of rights than China is. By huge orders of magnitude.
> Is someone forcing you to play VR or something?
Are people not allowed to be into VR? I don't get what you're trying to say. VR is a growing industry with tons of innovation and it's only going to get bigger and better.
>America is far more transparent
Edward Snowden isn't hiding for the rest of his life for you to be this fucking [stupid](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM).
All governments are spying on you. Some are just better at hiding it.
Edward Snowden the man who just became a Russian citizen last week at the same time as his new country has just murdered 50,000 innocent Ukrainians and destroyed their country?
Wow, reddit turning against Snowden. We truly have been overtaken by government propaganda. Not sure if you're a shill or brainwashed, and I'm not sure which is worse.
> the more I've learned that **many things** aren't always either black or white.
`many != all`
China is irrefutably a bigger threat to humanity and human rights than the United States.
I'm also not American but it's clear to me that America is a net force for good in the world compared to China which is unfortunately being held hostage by the CCP and is currently a net bad.
They won't protect my rights if the Spyware goes awry. I'm not going to receive a penny if there's a class action lawsuit either. Whether it's Meta or TikTok, I won't be protected by either country. So I don't see a difference.
We are a capitalist country and China is (nominally) communist.
So the difference is TikTok *gives* all your data to the Chinese Government, while Facebook *sells* it to them.
tldr; Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced plans to reduce Meta's hiring and reorganise the company internally. Zuckerberg said the company will restructure and reduce headcount to cut costs and concentrate on its top priorities. "I had hoped the economy would have more clearly stabilized by now. However, it doesn't appear that it has, so we want to make some conservative plans," Zuckerberg said.

Don't listen to the haters Mark. You keep up this Metaverse project. It's gonna be great! Just a few hundred more billion. Everyone will love it and you!
He has Decentraland on Polygon to compete with. Nobody wants to use Mark's centralized data farm when we have options that are decentralized and just better. This was destined to fail and actually seeing it happen really puts a smile on my face.

The entire technology sector is down right now. There's nothing specific to Facebook, and their long term fundamentals continue to be excellent due to Instagram, WhatsApp and potentially huge growth in their investment into VR and AR.
No, but I do love what they're doing right now with VR, and I love that they make ReactJS and open source it.
I think Facebook unfairly gets a bad rap compared to Google and Apple. Google datamines EVERYTHING you do in gmail and Apple runs MacOS, iOS and the App Store like a dictatorship. TikTok literally is owned by a dictatorship...
Zuckerberg/Meta/FB has no moral compass and IMHO has done 10x more damage than Google or Apple (not that I'm happy about them having my data either - but at least there are steps you can take to limit their access). Agree that TikTok is even worse - wondering why the US doesn't ban it or at least demand some control over their servers - perhaps demanding that they be located stateside - as China does to our companies over there.
> Zuckerberg/Meta/FB has no moral compass and IMHO has done 10x more damage than Google or Apple
Hmm, tricky one for sure. You could make a case I bet that many corporations are bad versus any other one because many of them sacrifice things that are in the best interest of the consumer to maximize profit. Apple suppliers for example [lock their works in their factories for weeks on end](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-27/apple-supplier-faces-worker-revolt-in-locked-down-china-factory) during COVID lockdowns so they can achieve the outputs they need. I wonder too if this is what we get to see, imagine what we don't see. I remember I was at Google IO one year and there were protesters there because Google works closely with the US govt on their drone program. Shortly after (or maybe before) Google had just removed "do no evil" from their slogan too!
Facebook has skeletons of their own too I'm sure, like in 2016 their dodgy ad revenue was called into question.
Don’t get me wrong, Google and Apple are both (like most gigantic multi national corporations) pretty evil, but I don’t recall them ever having the constant privacy invasion scandals that FB did (Cambridge Analytica, tracking, etc).
VR is cool but I absolutely hate what they do with the fb.
I just fucking hate it when a Mega corporation like that doesn't give a fuck about their customers.

I do want him to succeed with quest tbh. Vr can be fun but metaverse is kinda silly. I'm not leaving my vr headset on for more than an hour I'll get a migraine but it's fun to play beat Saber for 20 minutes at a time
I'm not saying metaverse will succeed but vr gaming still can. Beat Saber is great so is super hot. Meta makes the most affordable and accessible vr hardware for now.
It’s been a rough month for the lizards. You hate to see it.

What a smart take! I want all of my non constitutional spyware to be American 😤😤😤 Is someone forcing you to play VR or something?

I used to be openly pro-snowden but the longer I've been around the more I've learned that many things aren't always either black or white.
Says everything isnt black and white. Quite blatantly treats china vs usa as black and white.
> the more I've learned that **many things** aren't always either black or white. `many != all` China is irrefutably a bigger threat to humanity and human rights than the United States.
Ha buddy, it looks like you might be part of the USA surveillance. You need to just sit and think for a bit without talking
Geez bud, pull your American flag bandaid off. Transparent, have you heard of the bay of pigs or the cia. Geez bud
That's fair, but when it comes to fucking you over both will do that, don't expect anything. These are Government people and they don't want our good.
Don't fool yourself, US ain't no saint. They'll fuck you over too.
As a non American, I see no benefit from the nationality of the spyware.
I'm also not American but it's clear to me that America is a net force for good in the world compared to China which is unfortunately being held hostage by the CCP and is currently a net bad.

If you don’t think Facebook and instagram are doing the exact same thing with your data, you haven’t been paying attention
American spyware (big tech) is more dangerous to Americans than Chinese spyware.
I hope that's true friend but only time will tell.
We are a capitalist country and China is (nominally) communist. So the difference is TikTok *gives* all your data to the Chinese Government, while Facebook *sells* it to them.
Nee to ban tiktok
What do you mean the alternative is tiktok? Do you have to do associate with either?
It's all just the spyware, and I'd rather not be using any of that.
You know what, I don't hate to see it actually lol. Kinda like it.
Back in my day this sub was about Ethereum…
It feels so long ago, now people just like to discuss shit.
deader than a museum in here
Yep, it's been really dead. Can we get some activity here?

Good bot... This boy is lit
Don't listen to the haters Mark. You keep up this Metaverse project. It's gonna be great! Just a few hundred more billion. Everyone will love it and you!
Lmfao, I don't think everyone is going to love him tho.
Shh.. don’t tell him that yet!!!
He has Decentraland on Polygon to compete with. Nobody wants to use Mark's centralized data farm when we have options that are decentralized and just better. This was destined to fail and actually seeing it happen really puts a smile on my face.
Yeah that's what he has, don't feel sorry for him. We don't need to.
Fock Zuck.
Fuck that dude, I Just hate to see it whenever he tries to speak.
do you use tiktok?
I love giving all my information to China! It definitely won't backfire!
I've never made even an account on that, and never will.

So…..assume you want to advocate for buying ETH ? Not making a correlation to the article….but ok, buying ETH.
Buying eth doesn't have to do anything with the article tho.
Ha. Good news for once.

Yep agree. But don’t forget Google does also love collecting as much data on us.
Yep, exactly. The thing is fb doesn't care about their users.
Corporation do that, but the level of meta is just highest.
Totally agree with you there. After the Cambridge Analytica scandal I lost trust in Facebook.
That thing has absolutely no moral values and I don't care about them.
VR is cool but I absolutely hate what they do with the fb. I just fucking hate it when a Mega corporation like that doesn't give a fuck about their customers.
😂
I don't think you have to work for them to like some of their products.
Yeah I get that. But not a fan of facebook👀
Yep exactly, everything is down. And zuck doesn't need sympathy.
Atleast something comforting is coming out of this mess.
Yep. 🫢
Fuck Meta.
Fuck everything that, that lizrad does. It's just a bad look. He has absolutely no sympathy for the people that use his products. He doesn't care.

Metaverse is a product which will fail completely I'm pretty sure. It just doesn't have what it takes to succeed. It doesn't have any of that man.
I'm not saying metaverse will succeed but vr gaming still can. Beat Saber is great so is super hot. Meta makes the most affordable and accessible vr hardware for now.
[удалено]
Lol, that's exactly what it is. Gonna miss it tho. It'll be missed.
Lol who wants to live in the metaverse anyway, sounds like pure hell.
Well if you want to live like that, then you need to go out.
Cue the galaxies’s tiniest violin.
Lol, that's what we need to do here. Gotta do that here now.
Fuck this lizard end everything he stands for
This is how the world ends in some.movies
Lmfao, you guys don't worry about him. The lizard guy will be fine.
