I told my son I would disown him if he worked for Facebook, for the reasons stated above.

Then he took a contracting gig for Meta. His rationalization was that the project was an ill-specified prototype that would never see the light of day - if they wanted to throw money at him for stuff like that, he would accept it.

That gig is finished, and he's now thoroughly disillusioned with working for big tech.
