Facebook Decides Which Killings We’re Allowed to See
- wertens 10y agoMark Zuckerberg and Facebook are "too big to fail". So all that anyone seems to be able to do now is watch from the sidelines, as this social experiment that they impose on humanity wreck havoc.
- x1798DE 10y agoI don't think that's what "too big to fail" means. It doesn't mean that you are so big that failing is impossible, it's that you are so big that if you fail you'll take the whole industry with you, thus it's politically untenable to allow you to fail. (Mind you I don't subscribe to the view that these things should be bailed out, I'm just explaining the phrase.) I don't think Facebook fits in that category.
