While many employees at Citizen felt the Pacific Palisades incident was a huge mistake, Andrew Frame looked at it differently. While Frame showed some contrition, he sees the bounty experiment as a "massive net win," a step on the way for his app to become a private safety network that is "going into what the government is failing to do," which is, in the company's mind, failing to keep people safe, according to his Slack response to Prince. ----- Citizen's culture seems fundamentally rotten and I think I understand why with this CEO.

"Going into what the government is failing to do" sounds an awful lot like "encouraging lynching".

  They should be shut down by government order, because they're a threat to national security. I'm serious. Their business is proving to be a direct assault on the right to a fair trial before punishment is dispensed. This is literally taking the crazy Twitter cancel mobs from digital space to meatspace.

  To be fair, policing is generally a failure in the US. Citizen is not the solution, though.
