How do you figure?
The only thing I see that's wrong about this is that I don't pay the EFF to tell private companies what to do. I pay them to stop the government from turning fascist.
They're not wrong about Facebook being a POS and these new policies making it moreso, though.
- Over2Chars 2y agoThe EFF won't stop anyone from turning fascist. That's not their mission. It sounds nice though. I wouldn't give the EFF a dime.
- cratermoon 2y agoOut of curiosity, do you propose any remedy for companies being acting badly? What would you do, if anything, to curb companies doing things like what FB does? What sort of organizations have a role in watching over private companies, informing the public about their activities, and provide guidance on corrective actions?
- beej71 2y agoI haven't been able to think of solutions that aren't worse than what they're doing. I'm extremely wary of the government forcing Facebook to behave a certain way because of the First Amendment.

- beej71 2y agoI like the free market when it works, and think it should be regulated when it fails. So I'm not really a government versus free market person. What is a massive red flag to me is the government telling a business what they can and can't publish. Putin, for example, loves to do that. Still recommended viewing?
