"dozens of people have already been killed by faulty software in cars, while hundreds of people have been killed from faulty software during air travel"
If facebook really did cause T. to get elected, fb programmers may be responsible for orders of magnitude more suffering and/or death than the above.
- erikb 10y agoPlease don't misunderstand the lack of support as lack of anti-Trump support. The comment just reads quite illogic and not very constructive.
- mooneater 10y agoBut truth is inherently constructive. What I am saying, is that software with political implications, can have far greater effects than software which directly controls physical objects. Not sure how this is illogical, but open to hearing views. It would be nice if downvoters explained their view, in addition to downvoting.
- mooneater 10y agoIn addition to downvoting me, please let me know why. Is it: a) You do not agree that fb (and its fake news epidemic) contributed to Trump's victory b) You do not agree that Trump will increase suffering and/or death c) You do not feel the above points are worth considering or relevant to the topic at hand d) Something else?
