> I still find it shocking to think that Meta is more accountable (to society?) than government. That is not something I said. I'm not even sure it's quantifiable enough to say "more" or "less", as the kinds and mechanisms of accountability are so different. > arguing that government is less accountable than Meta I did not say that either. My point is that an authoritarian government nationalizing Facebook is even worse in accountability terms that either one on its own. > "Market pressure" and "investor pressure" don't seem to be doing much good in accountability to society, do they? I think your baseline is off. The social media platforms have made huge strides since their early days. Could they do more? Yes. Could they be worse? Incredibly so.
