Wait, why are you taking what he says at face value? Why is anybody? He doesnt care. He. Does. Not. Care. He's just saying what he needs to, just like anybody else in his position trying to protect his business.

So instead of being just cynical I think everyone who works in tech, or has some influence in tech should just keep pressuring people to live up to their word. I don't think all tech leaders are evil and I do think Facebook has legitimate use cases, so might as well advocate to at least get rid of the worst aspects than just skip the debate altogether.

There are plenty of values worth protecting that doesn't rely on him being true to his word (which is worth less than zero, it's actively harmful).
