    I pulled a word out my ass because I can’t be bothered with looking it up all the way for this ambiguous term.

    Basically, like “sportswashing” they are trying to cover up/compensate for their horrible behaviour by releasing crumbs like this to gain goodwill. I’m not going to change my opinion on facebook being a piece of shit scourge on humanity just because they put some ram efficiencies in linux.

      It’s better for a company to do a good thing for the wrong reasons than it is for them to do another wrong thing. I’m not going to change my opinion of Facebook over this, but I also don’t think we should avoid benefiting from one of the few good things they’re doing with their money.

      Imagine if they were donating money to the feed the poor, and someone was saying we should burn the money instead of buying food, just because Facebook wasn’t sincere enough.

        By that logic, elon musk can actively promote nazism, but would deserve a pat on the back if he gave a carrot to a poor person.

            These billionaires and evil corporations wouldn’t even exist if consumers weren’t so gormless, complicit, and compliant.
