Meta / Facebook would happily sell advertising for baby eat restaurants and cook books. It is about profit not morality nor even being a good human being.
Need to maximum profits for the share holders. Modern day large scale companies follow the Friedman doctrine, not human decency. [0]. They need that fix of infinite growth, which by doing so become cancerous to society.
> Meta should exit the US too because the US does {x} that I don't agree with.
This can be a real argument and conversation but we would need to know what {x} is and the causal chain that leads the world to be better after Meta leaves the US.
Then Meta should exit that country.

If they had a moral compass. They’ve proven time and again they don’t.

I agree it can be a real argument.
The question is, who determines whether Meta should exit the US? Is it @ornornor? Hacker News? The Guardian? Europeans? Saudis?
If it's any of the above, I think Meta would have needed to exit the US market a while ago. ;)

Exactly.
