I think the issue is that the enforcement happens in the West, and not so much that it happens. There are big law firms that stand to make a lot of money from the litigation. Furthermore there is likely a contractual obligation that this be

Been going on for a while - this is from 2007: Vulture funds buy up sovereign debt issued by poor countries at a fraction of its face value, then sue the countries in courts - usually in London, New York or Paris - for their full face value

Bernard Stiegler and a bunch of French philosophers have been writing about this idea of 'Algorithmic Governmentality' which I think is a useful way of discerning Mark Zuckerberg's intentions, press releases, denials etc asid

In terms of jumping to the sci-fi dystopian implication, I think it's quite fun to think about and certainly part of being a real technologist...: After all, doesn't the kind of of digital truth (or digital behaviourism) epitomize
