It does not serve any good for facebook that she threatened their business connections to the daily mail unless they bury the story. That is the absolute worst behavior. Wealthy people owning the news media is terrible, wealthy people manipulating the news media is unacceptable - and I'm sure it happens though. Gee, what other major media source might be negatively influenced if another touchy billionaire buys it?
- danielmarkbruce 5y ago"their business connections" - there is no reason to think it wasn't her connections. She is a human with relationships with people at companies. She's been around the block a couple times. Her calling a few friends and having them call to bury a bad story about someone's private life (and the story is likely a lie, given who is publishing it) is something many reasonable people would do for their significant other.
- pstuart 5y agoOh but that touchy billionaire is a "free speech absolutist" so he'll welcome more flight tracking and criticism of him.
- rnk 5y agoAnyone who pays attention knows free speech doesn't apply to criticism of him. I'm sure it's terrible being constantly criticized everywhere, half of it is probably completely crazy bs. But there's a reason we try to avoid having dictators make all decisions.
