Mark Lemley, who represented Meta in a copyright case, said he was no longer working for Mark Zuckerberg's company following its recent policy changes.

Summary

Stanford law professor Mark Lemley dropped Meta as a client, citing CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s “descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness.”

Lemley, who represented Meta in a 2023 AI copyright case, also deactivated his Threads account and vowed to avoid Facebook/Instagram ads.

Lemley criticized Zuckerberg’s recent changes, including reducing DEI initiatives and endorsing “masculine energy,” moves echoing Elon Musk’s management style.

Zuckerberg has also shifted politically, restoring Trump’s Facebook account and building ties with him, contrasting with Meta’s earlier stance against Trump’s rhetoric.

    Edit: Apologies for being so aggressive, I should stop doing that as a first option. The point stands, though.
