Look at everything Mark's overseen at Facebook over the last decade.
The unimaginably deep dark pools of data collection, the targeting, Internet.org's absolutely transparent attempt to get developing nations trapped on Facebook under the guise of philanthropy, the complete non-response to extremism on their own platform until way after it was a problem, the list goes on and on.
That's the last 10 years. Now Mark says they're building a more private, smaller platform? Private for who?
Mark says he wants to enable small businesses to connect with customers through their networks. What he's really saying is he wants every last piece of society to operate through his network so Facebook can get it's cut of the local laundromat.
I hate these grand-yet-bland, corporate flavored prognostications. There's absolutely no reason we should believe any of these things he's excited about will be a net benefit for the rest of us.
- rhizome 7y agoThere is nothing other than stereotypes of The Internet to suggest that Facebook is existing by any other terms than the ideals of the US Republican party.
