    It reads to me like they’re saying that they feel like they might be attacked by Meta employees.

    That said, it’s uh… quite a choice to have made to say that.

      Oh, interesting. I also initially read it as a thinly-veiled threat but I think you’re right it was more of a “will i be assaulted”. Still a weird thing to say.
