Shira Anderson, an American international rights lawyer, is Meta’s AI policy chief who voluntarily enlisted for the IDF in 2009 under a program which enables non-Israeli Jews who aren’t eligible for military conscription to join the Israeli army.
With AI a critical emerging technology for tech giants and militaries, Anderson’s role at Meta is an important one. She develops the legal guidance, policies and public relations talking points concerning AI issues and regulation for all of Meta’s key areas, including its product, public policy and government affairs teams.
At Meta, Anderson, who is based in Meta’s Washington DC office, is in familiar company. More than one hundred former Israeli spies and IDF soldiers are employed by the company, my new investigation shows, many of whom worked for Israel’s spy agency Unit 8200.
Aren’t nearly all Israelis ex-IDF? Pretty sure terrorism is mandatory in that country, and avoiding conscription is a crime.
With the proliferation of former Israeli spies and solders into US big tech we are looking at the complete capture of the US national security state by pro-Israel voices.
Colour me unsurprised
Lol infiltration amirite?
I heard the guy who was in the group chat talking about the US bombing Yemen without declaring war was also an ex-IDF
They have mandatory military service no? Then isn’t every person from Israel ex- IDF.
Yes all occupiers are valid military targets but keep in mind that

No not all people from Israel are “valid military targets”. Wtf.
That is what mandatory conscription leads to. All Israelis except for the very few who refuse service are trained soldiers with direct ties to the army. All those reservists are now participating in the genocide.
Let’s call it an even 200 employees. That amounts to, rounded up, .003% of Meta’s staff of 74,067. Do with that info what you will
Only half of those are engineers. And far less are at top roles in Meta such as ex COO Sheryl Sandberg
