I'm not seeing why they would post about it publicly unless they wanted to put public pressure on Facebook to let them keep using it for free. To me, that's price shaming.
It's basically an internal memo, except CERN posts them publicly.
I would not.
Yes, I'm talking about you, IT security architects...
I do wonder what the person who posted this to HN's intentions were, though.
(CERN is an intergovernmental organisation, so it's similar to a government research department, except the funding and control is shared between several governments.)
IMHO you're either silent about everything, or open about everything and I support that CERN is open about everything.
Semantically, any discussion point that is arbitrarily elevated to outrage is now disallowed? Obviously off topic here, and ignoring certain perhaps universally accepted things that are disallowed, this stance seems stifling. The whole concept of "micro aggressions" or whatever that means.....just seems like virtue signaling. But YRMV.
