Most Meta employees do not support invasive features without opt outs in their products. Some try to argue against it. But ultimately there is only person who gets to decide.

You might as well blame the entire US population for certain problematic actions of the president.

The equivalent would be blaming those who chose the current president. Which would be an entirely reasonable thing to do.

Being a USA citizen is often not a choice. Being a Metaslop employee is a choice.

You actively decide to work for Meta which has been known to dishonestly violate privacy since basically day one [1]. Most US citizens were passively born as one. It’s also much easier to leave a company than to move out of USA.

The infamous "Nuremberg defense".

Meta employee chose to work there. Each day, they choose to keep working there. With Meta on their resume, they could find work pretty much anywhere else.

Getting another job when you have Meta on your CV is a lot easier than moving to another country.

"Country by of and for the people."

A nation is what its people tolerate.

An economics euphemism; what the market will bear.

Americans bear their government and neighbors providing zero assurances of food, shelter, healthcare.

Millions support the Prez and the rest, even though they have power in numbers, well, not doing anything is a choice.

Good luck out there. My fellow Americans and I don't have to care if you end up homeless in your car. Murica!
