It's easy to start drawing the line at the low hanging fruit. Let's start with holocaust denial which Zuckerberg raised last week. This argument that it's complex doesn't mean we can't do something and act in the mo

This is great. Countries and governments have the power to make the future they want happen. Often we see that power used to stifel innovation and subsidize failing incumbents to protect jobs. Investing in technology research that'll b

Yes it's definitely messy for some topics. Mostly we agree. Can you answer the specific question about a specific topic (holocaust denial) that the CEO of the platform raised or is that case too messy?

I understand how it works. Your protected free speech only relates to the Government in the USA. You are not guaranteed free speech on a private platform and a private platform doesn't have to provide a platform to racists. It chooses

It's because it disenfranchises people without ID for no good reason. Fraud of this type doesn't happen. All voter ID does is make it harder to vote as it requires people to do more unessessary work to vote. From a "systems d

Did IRC have a targeted advertising platform built in? Do you think Facebook should allow paid antisemitic advertising or should this be restricted platform wide?

It will happen but the timelines are looking much longer than people were promising two years ago to get investment. The reality of the difficulty of the edge cases and long term reliability has been made more clear and the hype is fading.
