When talking about Facebook earlier this month, he posed this question: "If a firm wittingly or unwittingly becomes weaponized by Russian intelligence, isn't the responsible thing to do to shut the firm down?"
That is the kind of eye-rollingly partisan political "signalling" I'm talking about. If he thinks $100,000 of Russia linked ad-spend on Facebook flipped the votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, and Florida, and thus we should consider shutting Facebook down for this reason, I really can't take his analysis that seriously.
