> questionable contact importing practices

If your phone company had suggested it used morally wrong and potentially illegal tactics to get your private contact information, and equal uproar would ensue.

> The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is de facto good.

This is literal insanity. Of course this is a big deal. This man writes that he thinks there is almost literally nothing, legal or not, outside the company's willingness to grow exclusively to earn more money. Accepting murder, terrorism, death, just to grow and earn more money? Fuck that man, he's evil and the memo is written to sound as evil as possible. It's sick and it's wrong and it's a lot more than a little tacky.

Facebook has no desire to help you or your friends connect. Facebook has no desire to keep you safe or keep you a customer. They want your friends as customers and they don't care if you die as a result. It almost sounds in the memo like this crazy person wanted someone to die, it's super weird with the fixation on " even some DEATH won't stop us now!" uh okay, sounds like a nice man.

The man says "the truth...we believe in.." and then says later he never believed in it, claims himself that he's a liar and a cheat. He is obviously not mentally well and cannot be trusted to do any real work, especially the kind that has dramatic effect on the lives of 2B people.



Let me ask you: if someone found a way to use one of your software projects to harm - or even kill - others, would you shut it down?
