• [OT] Zuckerberg gets hung out to dry by whistle-blower

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 18 17:13:41 2025
    Mark Zuckerberg must be VERY unhappy right about now. A whistle-blower
    has told a Senate committee in open session that he actively colluded
    with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in bring Facebook to China, and
    enabling CCP security to have information about users in China, Hong
    Kong AND Taiwan. Senator Blumenthal pointed out that Zuck had told the
    Senate in previous testimony that no such activities took place. She's essentially exposed him as lying to the Senate and betraying customers
    in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    I'm not sure how he's going to deal with this mess. He's got lots of
    money, power, and influence so he's got lots of levers to pull. If I
    were the whistle-blower, I would keep a VERY low profile, just in case
    Zuck decides that an "unfortunate accident" would be a good idea.

    What would be the point in whacking her now? You only whack someone to keep them from exposing you. She's already spilled the beans.

    I'm assuming they take some additional action to discredit her - like
    inventing a long history of lying and blackmail - that comes out about
    the same time as her unexpected suicide. That might muddy the waters sufficiently that her credibility is undermined.

    Maybe I've watched too many murder conspiracy shows ;-)

    Just like why does a loan shark (per tv and movies..) kill the
    patsy who owes him $50k and then won't get the money.

    It's to warn other delinquents...

    An American company bringing mass communication to China had to collude
    with the communist party? I'm shocked SHOCKED. Facebook is deployed in dictactorship after dictatorship. They colluded with the government, and
    are sometimes the only mass medium of communication. Facebook users have
    no alternative sources of news. Sometimes, Facebook communicated
    anti-ethnic propoganda, stirring up events leading to harrassment,
    slaughter, ethnic cleansing...

    Facebook has a terrible reputation in parts of the world without free speech/free press.

    Senator Blumenthal pointed out that Zuck had told the
    Senate in previous testimony that no such activities took place.

    The gentleman might have learned this from the same newspaper stories
    that I've read. It's funny what you can learn from newspapers in a
    country that has freedom of the press.

    There may be restrictions in federal law upon American companies serving
    the propoganda needs of evil dictatorships in their own countries. As
    far as I know, this isn't a violation of the Wilson era Espionage Act,
    but there could be subsequent laws I'm not familiar with. I'm skeptical
    what extra-territorial jurisdiction US law can assert.

    She's essentially exposed him as lying to the Senate and betraying
    customers in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    A corporate exective says exactly what's in his best interest? I've
    never heard of such a thing.

    He's a corporate executive. He'll hire more lawyers.
