Well, it’s overreach, but only slightly. Facebook is not stopping obvious scams he has reported, so yeah - causing Facebook pain seems like a very good way to make them out systems into place that stop scammers.
If a billionaire wants to make Facebook’s costs go up, he will. And this particular billionaire is quite willing to spend a lot of money to make it happen. Makes him look good in Australia. There isn’t any downside for him.
- maybelsyrup 5y agoOh I'm not complaining if he wants to bleed Facebook half to death. My gripe is more with something like this appearing in a wire service masquerading as journalism and not, say, a pop-up ad, or one of those flyers they hand out in front of the flea market. Bad people doing good things every now and again are still bad people.
- Handytinge 5y agoWhat an odd viewpoint. The article is factual reporting on what's happening, and includes a statement from one of they key parties. This statement will obviously have been vetted or written by a PR person who works for that party. Journalism regularly includes quotes from parties involved without accusation of dimishment of quality; In fact it's more common for journalists to face criticism for _not_ having taken statements from parties. The article shows no opinion of either party being "good" or "bad".
