The internet doesn't need more rules, it needs less centralization. Mark Zuckerberg wants more rules because his product doesn't scale in the free market. Such a centralized form of communication can only regulate its content via draconian policy or overzealous algorithms, which ironically turn it into a platform that is hardly worth using. People liked Facebook because it had fun stuff on it. When you make your platform not fun, and on top of that you are exposed over and over again for being full of shit, people stop showing up.
Mark Zuckerberg, go away. The problem isn't the internet, but people like you. Not that you will take that to heart at this point, but maybe others will figure you out the more we talk about you openly and outside of your crumbling castle.
- cjhopman 8y ago> it needs less centralization That's a nice sounding platitude. It'd be fucking terrible for privacy and data protection, though.
- cjhopman 8y agoNot that it doesn't have it's benefits, though. It's just that anytime someone proposes it as a panacea, I feel they must be being either disingenuous or they just completely don't understand what they're talking about.
- ravenstine 8y agoI didn't say complete decentralization, just less centralization than where we are heading. I am not even talking decentralized servers here, just a greater variety of choices with more anonymity. I don't see how that is any less secure than trusting Zuckerberg or Google.
