After years as a frontend engineer at Meta, working on React and other major projects, I’ve decided to leave — and not for the usual reasons. The company isn’t what it appears to be. There’s a hidden backdoor in their infrastructure that bypasses user privacy settings, allowing access to personal data, with full knowledge of leadership. Questioning these practices? You’ll be silenced, derailed, or pushed out. Meta’s culture thrives on secrecy, and ethics are an afterthought. If you’re thinking about joining, consider what you’re really signing up for.
