Summary

Stanford law professor Mark Lemley dropped Meta as a client, citing CEO Mark Zuckerberg's "descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness."

Lemley, who represented Meta in a 2023 AI copyright case, also deactivated his Threads account and vowed to avoid Facebook/Instagram ads.

Lemley criticized Zuckerberg’s recent changes, including reducing DEI initiatives and endorsing "masculine energy," moves echoing Elon Musk’s management style.

Zuckerberg has also shifted politically, restoring Trump’s Facebook account and building ties with him, contrasting with Meta’s earlier stance against Trump's rhetoric.

A responsible editor would've put the Neo Nazi madness part in the headline.

Saw someone joke that if companies really did need more masculine energy that it would be really bad news for Zuck

These companies need diversity to build the companies to where they are and then dump them when it's no longer convenient.

To "descend" you'd have to have not been there in the first place.
