   Facebook spent a lot of money making drones so jungle ppl in Africa could have internet, and I just can’t see the possible roi.

     It's in Africa so effectively it's the same as transferring money to an offshore — to eventually steal some of it and put into your personal account — tax free of course.
     It can also be presented as charity to receive tax cuts.

     It was never in Africa tho, and then they cancelled it. I think maybe it was more like let’s spy on dindus, and then they were like oh wait, this is totally retarded lol.

     Maybe they just did it so they could gather their data and search results to see how they can be fucked with and exploited. 🤷♂️

     Spying on general population for most of which couple of worn hoodies is all of their property in the same sense as it's done in the US and Europe of course makes little sense.
     Both Russia and China are doing things there though, taking control over whole governments, land, mines, naval ports — it might make little immediate sense, but might have some value in the long term — besides it's Africa so it's often dirt cheap compared to developed countries. Maybe it's some part of that game on the US end.
     And even if the project never borne any real fruits and exists solely on paper, having legal entity in a shithole country with corrupt government might make sense as an intermediate point in some financial flows — even in Eastern Europe it's everything's mostly traceable nowadays, in Africa — who the fuck cares what's happening there, a coup d'etat carried out by the local military might happen tomorrow and you'd never find ends.
