Don't you think they are bit late in the US? :D
>The issues of free speech and privacy and business and how they inter-relate are not solved issues, and things that we've grappled with as societies for at least a couple hundred years
But this time its much more hurting than before because we know more now and shouldnt let bad things happen because of a company's business decisions.
- grzm 10y agoObviously this is something you care about. I suggest you take some time, do some research, and spend some serious time thinking of concrete steps Facebook could take, and more importantly what you can do to help make the changes you want to see. At the end of the day, it's people that make changes. Expecting others to make those changes for you is likely to lead to more frustration for you. Be well, and good luck!
- zdkl 10y agoIn my opinion, you have it backwards. It's not about what anyone can do with/about the platform. The center of the issue is that facebook/google et al are selling convenience to the public who assumes the platforms are to some extent trustable.
- grzm 10y agoI think you might be reading too much into what I've said. When I talk about individual action, I'm talking about that in all realms: on the site, in person with other people, in their communities, what projects they work on, how they choose to engage in politics: How they can actually make the change they want to see. And that includes taking a stance on how to engage with Facebook et al. IMO the solution to "the public who assumes the platforms are to some extent trustable" has to center around peer-to-peer education of self-responsibility, critical thinking, and choice.
