The Google Docs team claims they're on it: https://mobile.twitter.com/googledocs/status/925377864677158912 https://mobile.twitter.com/googledocs/status/925377864677158...
Even so, Zeynep Tufekci sees a larger unaddressed issue: Is Docs a publishing platform? https://mobile.twitter.com/zeynep/status/925368098303160320 https://mobile.twitter.com/zeynep/status/925368098303160320
- detaro 9y agoIs that really "unaddressed"? People share documents publicly directly from Docs (including Google employees), it has tools to support that (e.g. you get a "light mode" warning if you access a doc with many active viewers), ...
- jboynyc 9y agoYes, of course, on the technical level it works. The legal and editorial side of it has not really been addressed. When somebody can publish arbitrary content on a Google domain, then Google pretty much has to start taking on an editorial role.
- detaro 9y agoI would assume that this freezing of documents means this is already happening from Googles side, with them applying variations of the filtering they use on their other publishing platforms to answer these issues.
