Woah
This is so cool, I would love to see video clips of what type of shapes certain tracks create.
What's is it like working for Meta?Thanks @dmgtz96. I work for Meta, but this was news for me. I checked my emails just now and there was no warning or instructions sent telling us not to talk about it. In fact, multiple managers last week brought up the news and offered small words of acknowledgement and support for those who needed it.
However the article you shared is correct, there are policies at Meta that will and have lead to censorship. It's actually a very complex and interesting situation, and far more nuanced than clickbait articles like this imply. For example do we need or want our internal workchat tools to be places for large political discussion? In a company of 10,000+ people, with differing opinions and perspectives, this has the potential to degrade the social aspects of work. Personally I probably think people should be able to discuss what they want, but need to think about it more. In fact there is extremely open, high quality, respectful and insightful debate taking place in giant internal posts about this topic, which leads me to believe we as employees can handle free discourse well.
But there are other considerations too. What happens if Meta allows for those perspectives that think banning abortions is a good one? There are jurisdictions that would love nothing more than to characterize anti-choice or pro-choice posts and advocacy as creating a hostile work environment, or extend those beliefs onto the company itself. Meta is an ideal target. Past leaks have already cherry picked internal employee posts to paint sensationalised and soap opera narratives for clickbait bullshit and it would happen again, no question. There are further legal implications too.
