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.
A responsible editor would’ve put the Neo Nazi madness part in the headline.
What are you compensating for Zuck?
Actual sense of belonging, even crooked white house does it.
Saw someone joke that if companies really did need more masculine energy that it would be really bad news for Zuck
Zuck thinks he’s a man?
He’s toxic for sure.
He’s a real boy!
These companies need diversity to build the companies to where they are and then dump them when it’s no longer convenient.
To “descend” you’d have to have not been there in the first place.
Let’s not celebrate lawyers as a result of this.
I get why I’m getting down voted for this comment, but I have a friend who has had to declare bankruptcy because of his legal bills. Everyone should be able to make a living, but because of the student loan burden lawyers have to suffer, that explains why they charge so much. But I’m still allowed to criticize them.
How about we celebrate good actions instead of demanding all of our preferences be met at once?
Edit: Apologies for being so aggressive, I should stop doing that as a first option. The point stands, though.
My civil lawyer is a pretty great guy. I also know plenty who are assholes.
