1. Facebook should be held accountable for this man's death.

Maybe Zuckerberg's recent nasty attack on Warren is a bit of deflection to rally his troops. He kept speaking in terms of "us," yet it's obvious Zuckerberg doesn't give a rodent's round rump about the actual employees who put him where he is today. So, if he can unite his minions against Warren, he can do exactly what the man in the video says, "Sweep this death under the rug."

The fact that Chin was here on an H1-B VISA is something that the supervisor who betrayed him should be forced to account for. He had to know that if Chin was fired, he had 60 days to find a new job or be forced to return to China.

You can't just treat people like pieces on a chessboard. Zuckerberg has been elevated beyond his level of mediocrity and needs to be taken down a peg or two.

is trashed because of this system-driven loss.

As if a single company is going to see to it that every single person has a purpose, because it presumes that was lacking before.

Facebook's mission and directives that tried to sound like a new social media religion are now seen as "it's not personal, just business" cautionary tale for everyone, not just H1-B visa workers. And American Facebook users.

He’s one of the greediest and most duplicitous beings on earth. A wolf in sheep’s clothing is an understatement.

truly investigated him thoroughly ? I've not seen a good in-depth expose of this man, just blerbs here and there about the problems of FB in general ?

Just curious.

We know he screwed his partners at the start. He pretends to be this expert coder, but who knows for sure. He’s a business man.

Facebook hasn’t been forward about anything from the start. They’re not an ethical company.

Is the part they played (and acknowledged ever so slightly) in the Rohingya genocide in Burma. What they permitted - even AFTER they were notified - is staggering. Complicity on this scale should have been the focus of a United Nations' investigation.
