Thank you for these reports!
@"good government style reaming", I just wanted to add that interestingly, a government (at least a democratic government) operates exactly the opposite of Google/Facebook.
By which I mean that there is democratic control over their policies, there is a hierarchy of courts and tribunals, there is a structured appeal process, and there are certain rights that no one, not even a court, can take from you.
It's almost as if at some point, people all around the world noticed that if an organization becomes so big that it's services might be considered "infrastructure", a different approach to decision-making is advisable. And they made that organization adhere to those principles, sometimes by force.
- rebootthesystem 10y ago"good government style reaming" still sounds good and satisfying. If you've ever dealt with such agencies as the IRS you know exactly how scary they can be. Google, Facebook and others need to experience this at a level 100,000 times greater than a typical contentious IRS audit. Maybe then they'll hire a few adults to teach the kids how to behave in the real world.
