I agree with you. CIA is much worse. Sinaloa's evil is regional, CIA's evil is global.

Would it be ok if Facebook hired someone who was part of the Sinaloa Cartel?

If you hire ex-CIA, that tells me everything about your ethics (or lack there of).

cia is an organization that uses torture (among other unethical things). if you ever worked for such an organization, I'm not even looking at rest of your cv. your ethics are clearly lacking.

this particular report is accurate.

If you were previously part of an organization that violates human rights, I have every right to hold it against you.

Tell that to China, they seem to be doing fine without Google/Amazon/Facebook.

Of those companies, Google is probably the only one you can't remove without effort.

But this article was about Facebook. Why should we allow Facebook to operate on our country given that they hire from the CIA?

also accurate

I live in a country that is not USA. Why should we allow a company led by CIA agents to operate in our country?

> Almost every analyst agrees that

First rule of international conflicts: analysts in the press are almost always off by several orders of magnitude.

Specifically, these analysts told us: (1) Russia would take Ukraine in days (didn't happen) (2) Russia would collapse under sanctions (didn't happen) (3) A breakthrough in Mariupol was imminent (didn't happen) (4) Russian advance would grind to a halt (didn't happen)

I'm probably missing a few.

Also I'm old enough to remember that analysts were telling us that Saddam had WMDs :)

Edit: also in 2020 as Azerbaijan was crushing Armenia in the Karabakh War, analysts in the press were still echoing Armenian state propaganda.

I can confirm this story by looking at the guys linked in page.

Last I checked Russia was still making progress. Unlike the first days, they are not rushing, but taking their time to eliminate defenders with artillery strikes.

EU is one of the largest consumer markets there is. US Tech companies are probably regretting the day they left China. They won't make the same mistake again.

you work at facebook?

These rules only apply to large organizations: "gatekeepers" that have massive global revenue and market power.

These regulations apply only to "Gatekeepers", meaning large companies with huge revenue and market power.
