Engaging in chat debate using corporate property is the height is short-sightedness. If we hit a recession, some ethically questionable bosses will use this chat feed to select RIF candidates.
The business of America is business. Shut up and work.
Just call it baby extermination 🤪
Same thing on my LinkedIn. I might delete it.
Are they afraid employees will express disappointment that they cannot perform a late term abortion on the boss?
So Meta/Facebook is censoring and canceling its own employees?
That’s kinda sweet, I think.
FWIW, LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft.
Top down command and control by a sociopath. What could go wrong?
They are trying to get their multiverse going...
Don’t need distractions.
Smart
Actually, it makes complete business sense. And I’m surprised that it’s even-handed. They’re prohibiting both pro and anti-Dobbs commentary.
Showing them what its like to be a conservative.
More accurate to call it non reproductive services unless they truly fund infertility treatments.
Probably getting overwhelmed by threats of violence against Christians and conservatives, and have to to hide that reality by deleting any conversation at all.
“Ambroos Vaes, a Meta software engineer, said in a post on LinkedIn he was disappointed that Meta was not allowing the topic to be discussed. “On our internal Workplace platform, moderators swiftly remove posts or comments mentioning abortion.”
Not hard to research a guy with that kind of name. Here are the results:
1. He grew up in Belgium, probably still a citizen there.
2. He’s likely been a guy all his life (therefore unlikely to need an abortion).
3. He works in Seattle, where abortion remains legal.
4. Abortion in Washington State is legal until fetal viability (about 24 weeks)
5. Abortion in Belgium is legal through the 12th Week.
Conclusion: He’s bitching at the wrong country.
It's still the only social media site I "use" but I almost never post anything, just keep it for occasionally useful links to relevant articles about my industry.
Face it. There is no reasonable consensus that can be achieved between people on opposite sides of the abortion question. Once someone identifies themselves as pro abortion and willing to kill preborn human life, decent people don’t want to be near them or work with them. Such people can never be trusted in any matter of importance.
As someone who had to deal with this in Silicon Valley, conservatives quickly learned if you didn’t want to be fired, you just kept quiet.
Liberals on the other hand could say just about anything.
Gay Meta doesn’t want the truth to get out
Maybe it's because I few up in the 80s, but I NEVER raise abortion, guns, drug decriminilization, or anything political at work. The vaccines came close to tearing apart workplaces...probably by design.
There are an infinite number of business problems that can arise any work day. It takes a while to extinguish them, which detracts from delivering value to clients and shareholders. Introducing internal debate over Dobbs/an extra can of gas onto that daily Christmas tree fire is patently absurd.
Removing that gas can the way Meta is doing so is a smart move, regardless where you stand on the topic or if you haaaaate FB.
These things go in cycles. And chat logs last forever.
I cannot imagine using internal company resources to voice my personal opinions on anything unrelated to the company.
