The cancer of morally bankrupt tech companies is becoming harder and harder to eradicate.
What to do when you are a researcher in the disinformation field at Harvard when you get your funding withdrawn, because Meta's multimillion funding is apparently conditional to cutting the funding to the researchers who can call the company accountable for its immoral practices?
What to do when your own boss uses the Facebook gaslighting textbook, with phrases such as "misinformation is a fluid and subjective concept" and "we shouldn't be arbiters of truth", to justify the cuts to your funding?
I won't tell what I would do because I may be accused of violent language. But what I'm sure is that the physical safety of execs who are so invested in dismantling the fabric of our societies for profit, and are so invested in silencing researchers who call them accountable too, shouldn't be taken for granted in a healthy democracy. Democracy can survive only if those who actively try to poison the quality of the information given to the voters are hung on the streets.
