    Meta was already enabling genocide in third world countries and countless other things but this is what caused chaos. Weird priorities, huh?

      Not like they’re a bunch of committed leftists working there.

      Which is more likely to impact a Meta employee personally?

      Ah yes, the “old news theory”…

      -They’ve done it already, why call them out again? It’s old news.

      While they escalate and continue to go full-on hate for profit.

        1. They haven’t done “it” because it’s a different thing
        2. OP did not say not to call it out again, simply ask us to consider why this thing caused more chaos than others

      In fairness, do we know for certain what happened in Facebook back then? Maybe some employees did protest, maybe they’re the same people protesting now, even. Or they quit. Thing is, LGBT issues make engaging articles. Third world suffering? Eh, it depends.

      Yet, I agree with the overall point because this is the crux of the matter: on average, one of these simply matters more—one way or another, see transphobes cheering—for people of this subgroup. This is us.

      The usual notes apply: good on them for protesting, big media isn’t helping, fully ethical employment is like fully ethical consumption.
