When reached for comment, Zuckerberg told reporters, “Don’t waste my time with this shit. It’s not even in the top 10 of evil shit I did in the last hour.”
Tbf, I'd be censoring things in a workplace that have proven to disrupt or upset people. As much as I'd love to see Sharon take to Jan with the work kitchen's last plastic fork, all over a Israel-Palestine thread in Teams, I gotta think of the OHS guy. That includes bullying and psychosocial manipulation, which has already occurred at my workplace with Russia-Ukraine.
The article is paywalled, but the opening words imply to me that this is likely the case, which would simply be good and common practice.
I could only see this being an issue if Meta employees live at work and being censored at work is like being censored in life. Not like us on the outside world that can read and share whatever whenever.
Yup, just like it's employment 101 to not discuss salaries.
Lack of communication and organization is a fantastic way to keep workers in line. Genuinely all it takes are a handful of socialists in an environment of heavily exploited workers to get a union going. They can all feel the material harm capitalism is causing, but lack the language and means to express and resist that harm.
When socialists provide it (via politics in the workplace), that harms companies. When communication takes place (salary sharing, organization tactics, etc.) you place a strain on the bourgeoise to behave more inline with worker expectations. This isn't what capitalists want.
Or, more likely, he's banking on it being recolonized after the more blatantly active part of the genocide is concluded, and doesn't want to alienate the war crime profiteers who could be extremely lucrative for him once people go back to pretending that Israel isn't an apartheid state ruled by fascists.
