I laughed

They sold it under the condition he wouldn't lie, it was a condition for him to have it, and he lied

Yes but the original founders did that. Zuckerberg took it from them and immediately lied about data sharing, there's a reason why the founders left in disgust

The problem with Facebook's products always comes down to one overriding fact, Zuckerberg's desire to win over everybody else; he's constantly been accused of stealing from people, it's not a surprise everything he owns is either extremely coercive or broken from a technical standpoint

Sure, network effects are hard to overcome; my point is that Zuckerberg bought it as a competition killing move so they're not likely to put any quality control into it

But why would anyone use Whatsapp after the Onavo stuff?

I think people are missing the point when they call Metaverse a 'misstep' because it implies Zuckerberg was a good actor who just happened to get this one thing wrong... if you look through his history of things like forced Whatsapp sharing (plus Onavo), Free Basics, all of the shitty things the company does... the Metaverse was never a good faith effort and people need to understand that; newsflash, he's not a shining example of what a good person is

(And the whole stealing Facebook from other people in the first place, anyway)

My first impression of this is literally "So, maybe a good idea, but isn't this Zuckerberg just copying yet another person like he's always done forever?"

He's not high, he's been treating people like contempt ever since Harvard, this isn't new

Forcing a mandatory Facebook account is "doing an ok job"...?

Lots of suspiciously downvoted comments here.

And I bet if it was only Apple's iOS changes they would be fine, but that combined with Zuck's Metaverse obsession is dragging them under

But given his history of acquiring the product he has no right to talk; what he did is blatantly criminal
