If anyone wants to see the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHKhYL3is5o

He did harass them a bit. I'm looking forward to Meta taking down all videos where someone is a bit harassed. Internet will be a much nicer place!

This hypocrisy is not at all surprising. The modus operandi for these people has been rules for thee, but not for me for quite a while now.

Great idea for protests outside meta offices. Just stand on the public right of way outside the entrance, smiling in your meta ray bans.

Hopefully the Streisand effect will be in full force on this one.

In China the government controls the discourse. Here it's the corporations.

But the video was not just the view from his glasses?

Who remembers the picture of inside Zuckerberg's home that got leaked with the grotesks living their private lives?

Instagram is full of videos of guys harassing and antagonizing people in public as "pranks". And this is not some coincidence, since both products are from the same company, they basically unleashed this for engagement.

Corporate censorship. Do we want such a future in general, where big companies decide onto you what you can see and what you can not see? These walled digital gardens they built up are already such a huge issue.

Now I don't depend on CIAbook, formerly known as Facebook, in any way, shape or form. And I don't use Suckerberg's Spyglasses either - hopefully others feel in a similar way, but unfortunately money convinces people, and I noticed a few "auditors" using spyglasses allegedly for "protection" (though, why they don't use normal vide cameras instead, beats me - perhaps they are not truthful). I fear that the spyglasses will be a success since Suckerberg is so sold on spying on mankind. If Google were not to exist, Facebook would be the number #1 evil company right now.

Corporation under no obligation to uphold journalistic standards. In other news, water still wet.

The title is misleading - it sounds like they specifically went there to harass employees by filming them, and Meta took down the videos for harassment, like they routinely do if this is reported on their platforms. I'm really not sure what the issue is.
