I know people have elucidated greatly on why Zucc is bad, but I want to hone onto one specific event.
In 2010, Facebook entered then then-newly-opened country of Myanmar under their “Free Basics” programme. Zucc would underwrite the data costs of the mobile networks. In exchange? Well, Facebook would be ‘free’ for everyone to use in the country.
This had the (un)intended effect that everyone in Myanmar associated Facebook with the Internet.
Facebook, at this point, did not have a Burmese-speaking moderation team. They would not for a while. This is important to note. The Facebook algorithm started amplifying anti-Muslim content. Because that’s what people wanted to see in Myanmar. The military-backed civilian government even spread this content on Facebook. Because of this, such content spread far and wide.
It spread so fast that it catalysed a racial and ethnic genocide in Myanmar of this Muslim minority group. It took Zucc three years into the conflict to appoint a Burmese-speaking moderation team; by which point it was too late.
Facebook willingly, knowingly, and with only their bottom line at the forefront, accelerated one of the most devastating genocides in the world.
We should not give the “benefit of a doubt” to a war criminal.

wow, this is ugly on so very many different levels...
my training said to give your patient, as close as you can, a blank canvas upon which they can project so you can reflect back to them meaningfully. my training said to work hard to keep as much of your own stuff out of the session as you can, which is why you are supposed to always have a supervisor, FFS.
who is the patient? psychotherapists do not treat societies, they treat individuals in societies.

People began taking sides.’
surprise!

about a Century after Sgt Wesley, Sgt Sonstein carried slightly different gear but wore the same 7th Infantry patch.
TBH: I am certain that he was a much tougher person than I could ever be.

I think a lot of guys don't really understand the real power of the internet.
You can be nice to people.
Like you can just tell them "cute dress!" or "wow, I hope you have a really great day today" and no one finds you intimidating or wonders if you're hitting on them. You can be the fun, exuberant rando someone met online today who they tell all their friends about.
Give it a try; it feels great.
