Isn't that (possibly) true about a huge number of advertisements, political statements, religions, etc.?
When a politician says "this is good for my constituents" when it's really good for their donors, should they be banned from facebook?
- thom 8y agoWould it be the worst thing in the world if someone at Facebook at least had a long hard think about that?
- Swizec 8y agoLike instagram stars they should be required to clearly indicated when their post/quip/speech has been sponsored and who by. This would not be a bad thing at all. Any time a politican says something their sponsors asked them to say, they should add a little #ad to it.
- jorblumesea 8y agoI guess, isn't there a difference between the actions of an individual and the actions of a nation state? A singular politician voicing his/her opinion/rhetoric is one thing, a concerted nation state attack is entirely different. I think it's interesting people are not making this distinction here.
- saganus 8y agoCould this an effect of the size of Facebook? With the amount of users they have, they are bigger than many nation states (and they also cross borders), so maybe people perceive the difference a bit immaterial?
