I’ve had my disagreements with Meta’s leadership (I quit after all) but they do try hard to comply with the law on privacy. It’s a hard, hard problem that they spend a lot of money on.

The results have been mixed: they should probably spend even more.

In general these are some of the “least evil” people in the valley. I have personal disputes with some of them, some mutually pretty unpleasant. But that increases, not decreases my responsibility to be fair.

Bosworth in particular is about as close to a good guy as you can be in a job like that.

I don’t think very highly about how I’ve been treated personally, but that’s irrelevant to the broader point: Meta’s team is playing at the “least rough” end of the field. They’re great on open models and research, their lobbying is at the low, low end of shady (by the dismal standards of the day), employees have historically been treated well, it’s less bad.

If you want to get on them about something, the availability of Reels to minors needs to change.
