Article here. Excerpt:

'Mark Lemley, the William H. Neukom professor of law at Stanford Law and director of its Program in Law, Science and Technology, said in his social media post he has “struggled with how to respond to [CEO] Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook’s descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness.”

Lemley, a partner at Lex Lumina who was representing Meta in a copyright dispute in the Northern District of California, said he fired the company as a client. The case, Kadrey v. Meta Platforms, involves allegations that Meta trained its artificial intelligence product using the copyrighted works of several authors.'

Mark Z. has literally said only this: rhetorically, what's wrong with masculinity?

For this, he's "toxically masculine". Oh yes, he's also sacked the content-censoring ("moderation") dept.

For all this he's become evil.

If that is evil, we need more of it.

Buy META.
