Fmr. Facebook Engineer: I’m Leaving Because the Effort to Decide What’s Acceptable and What’s Not Is ‘Dangerous’

RUSH EXCERPT:

AMERIGE: “Absolutely, it has been dramatic to watch the shift over the years. That’s essentially why I am leaving. I’m leaving because of this direction, trying to draw lines about what is acceptable and what is offensive or too offensive, I think it’s dangerous and it’s impractical. It’s impossible to define what something like hate speech is and it’s even harder to implement and enforce it at Facebook scale. To your point, this is core to what the mission of the company is. I think it’s a huge strategic missteps for a company whose primary value is trying to draw these lines.”
