Lemley, who is also a law professor at Stanford University, made this decision after criticism of Mark Zuckerberg‘s direction regarding what he described as “toxic machismo and neo-Nazi madness,” according to the g1 website.

On Bluesky, a social network that rivals X, Lemley explained his decision, mentioning that, although he believes Meta is right in the copyright dispute over AI, he cannot, in good conscience, continue as its lawyer. In addition to leaving Meta, Lemley announced that he will deactivate his account on Threads and promote Bluesky as an alternative to X.

He also stated that he will no longer purchase products through ads on Facebook or Instagram to ensure that the company does not receive credit for his purchases.

These measures reflect Lemley’s discontent with the direction that Meta is taking under Zuckerberg’s leadership, highlighting the growing divide between the company and some of its former allies.
