Mark Lemley, a Bay Area intellectual property attorney and Stanford Law School professor, had represented Meta in a proceeding over the company’s alleged use of copyright texts for training artificial intelligence. The case, brought by a group of authors, could lead to precedent case law.
But Lemley couldn’t rationalize what he called “Facebook’s descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness,” he wrote on Bluesky.
On Monday, the attorney had been removed from the case and Meta’s roster. While Lemley believed his client was on the right side of the case, he said: “I cannot in good conscience serve as their lawyer any longer.”

(3,171 posts)Last week he said those of us who walked away from Meta products because of his sharp turn to the right are “virtue signalling.” He said it to diminish customers who have walked away from his unvetted platforms. I embrace virtue signalling. You bet I am virtue signalling. I have integrity, something the needy, thirsty Zuck does not.

Just as a side note: Zuckerberg is not a good example of masculine anything.
