안녕하세요!
I work at Meta. They’ll spend 1/10,000th of that on lawyers and lobbying instead. There’s a zero point zero percent change that even a fraction of this gets paid.
And the states suing know that too - it’s just politicians trying to grab headlines.
Same is true about non-slop projects
Generous to say Bazzite installation takes 20 minutes
Even more generous to say a Windows update takes 5 minutes
I mean I think comparing Zuck to Hitler is a stretch, but also consider that Hitler would be a lot more limited if his soldiers knew what was going on and were morally concious
But yea I do it for the money. I make over 5x the salary compared to my previous job

Meta employee here. People here are so entitled. I knew what I signed up for, but it seems many of my colleagues were/are oblivious
Valve allegedly threatened to delist all editions of Rainbow Six Siege after Ubisoft offered a cheaper option on its Uplay store.
Similar tactics to Amazon

The client does, AKA your phone
I work at Meta and interface with WhatsApp enough to know a couple things. First of all, data is encrypted at rest; that’s not even a WhatsApp thing, that’s literally how our infra works (it’s actually an efficiency thing, since deletions requires only deleting the key). So the “source” of the article saying
“Meta can and does view and store all the text messages, photographs, audio and video recordings” in an unencrypted format.
Is either lying or wrong.
Second of all, the encryption is legit. The only time “Meta employees” and “Contractors” are seeing your message content is when someone reports your message; because the person reporting it is sending a decrypted copy.
It may be true that there is some sort of device-level backdoor on your phone, or possibly that there’s a remote switch of some sort to send a second copy of the message in decrypted format for some targets, but I have not heard or seen this.
Fyi I use Signal and not WhatsApp, but in general I don’t think this article holds much weight
What other group of… Oh.

Also it’s generally understood that these lawsuits are just ways for countries to get money from Meta, since it looks a lot better than saying you’re taxing the social media giants
