I tried to figure out whether Trump's really going to ban TikTok, what "ban" actually means, and whether it's even possible. I'm still not sure, but I'm pretty sure you can't just do it with an executive order https://t.co/S19k6gYtzn — PolitiTweet.org

*Meeting at Microsoft* Exec 1: Let's buy TikTok Exec 2: Don't we suck at social? Remember Mixer and https://t.co/Z70WJpH4Qh and Yammer and the time we paid 8 billion for Skype and then totally ruined it? Exec 1: *Puts on Old Town Road, starts doing the Renegade* Exec 2: I'M IN — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg admitted as much yesterday: "Of course when you have tens of thousands of employees, people make mistakes. People have some of their own goals some of the time." But when you combine big-company problems with popular-company problems, you have a whole set of new ones — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote about this in this morning's newsletter, but the more I read the more I think it's true: the "you're too big" problem with tech is as much about having an unmanageably huge number of employees as it is about users and market share https://t.co/jZqJo8Yjrg — PolitiTweet.org
