    Did they take any money? Genuinely asking, hadn’t heard they did…

      If they did the contract would be under an NDA. No way for us to find that shit out - you just have to watch the enshittification happen as the early birds get paid.

        Meta is public. A transaction like that could not be done in secret.

          Meta is a publicly traded company - that doesn’t mean they have business arrangements the outside world doesn’t know about. They’re held to public reporting obligations and have a Board of Directors hand-picked by Zuck (since he still has the majority control of voting shares).

          A transaction like that is done in secret all the time, each and every day.
