ASML is a net positive for the world. Scientists pushing technology forward. Read about how they achieved EUV lithography, what an amazing feat.
META is a net negative for the world. Its leadership prioritizes profit over user safety (e.g. not protecting children), it allowed democracies to be undermined by boosting misinformation and social division.
Whatsapp is a strong net positive. This is the world’s communication network (I’m counting US out because it is counting itself out)
WhatsApp was not developed by Meta. They just bought it. That said, I don't think Meta/FB is a net-negative, far from it. They contributed back to the community with high quality infra-level software.
Sometimes we in the tech community need to poke our heads out of our tech silos.
Once you do, you will see how much societal damage Meta has caused under Zuck's leadership.
