If we presuppose that platforms should be able to scale past their ability to not cause harm or even comply with the law, this defense makes sense. It’s not feasible for a company with a billion users to avoid harming people. This is the philosophy we’ve been living under for at least the last 20 years. If we instead say that people are more important than a corporation’s right to scale, then a single large-scale violation would have been the end of Facebook and have criminal consequences for the leadership of the company. The scale of the act should make you more culpable, not less.
