Zuckerberg’s corporate piracy era is peak hypocrisy.Stealth mode torrenting on company hardware while scrubbing traces to avoid accountability? Classic. Meta’s obsession with “data” apparently includes swashbuckling for copyrighted material—just don’t let the plebs do it.
”Smallest amount of seeding possible”? Pathetic. Even leechers have standards. But why bother with ethics when you’re a billionaire playing digital privateer? The courts will shrug, the bourgeois judges will yawn, and Zuck’ll sail into the sunset with his ill-gotten datasets.
Yo bro, maybe invest in a VPN next time. Or just buy a legislature.
Supposedly, Meta tried to conceal the seeding by not using Facebook servers while downloading the dataset to “avoid” the “risk” of anyone “tracing back the seeder/downloader” from Facebook servers, an internal message from Meta researcher Frank Zhang said, while describing the work as in “stealth mode.” Meta also allegedly modified settings “so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur,” a Meta executive in charge of project management, Michael Clark, said in a deposition.
well the publishing associations should be catching wind of this and it’s already going through court so I guess we’ll find out.
But if I had to guess I’d say the bourgeois court system which is loaded with Trump’s picks right at the top is actually not going to let the billionaire donor go to jail
Trump’s picks aren’t going to help make things better, but there has never been a time when our government would impose real consequences on a billionaire.

If they’re hiding it, they know it’s illegal.
