      That’s not actually the tl;dr in my opinion, but others should decide for themselves.

      Whats your source on “taking the money”, by the way?

        If they did the contract would be under an NDA. No way for us to find that shit out - you just have to watch the enshittification happen as the early birds get paid.

            Meta is a publicly traded company - that doesn’t mean they have business arrangements the outside world doesn’t know about. They’re held to public reporting obligations and have a Board of Directors hand-picked by Zuck (since he still has the majority control of voting shares).

            A transaction like that is done in secret all the time, each and every day.
