I agree wholeheartedly with this blunt, smart @nytimes op-ed by @facebook co-founder Chris Hughes calling for breaking up that huge, cancerous company AND regulating the remaining entities under a tough new federal privacy law.https://t.co/3NqFiT4mZf? — PolitiTweet.org

The very smart @LaurenGoode makes a key point. I just spent 20 minutes adjusting Google’s supposedly easy new features for protecting my own data and usage patterns, and they still retain a lot of control. Read her piece! 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

@JasonCross00 @michaelpollan Sorry. — PolitiTweet.org

@BillMcGev @megangrA It’s big for the @FTC, maybe for the EU. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s next to nothing for @facebook. Unless it’s somehow auto-recurring, it won’t incent them to alter behavior or incent the markets to drop the stock price. These companies are awash in rivers of cash. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@JasonCross00 @michaelpollan So? People make an amazing breakthrough (I’ve eaten it) that can change the world for the better in major ways. And critics complain that it didn’t solve every possible problem? It’s like griping that, sure, heart bypass surgeries save a zillion lives, but they’re traumatic. — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelpollan With all respect, this complaint is pretty trivial compared to the vast global benefits of replacing, or significantly reducing, meat production and consumption. And even the nutritional comparisons are exaggerated and oversimplified. — PolitiTweet.org

@lizadonnelly @NewYorker @nytimes I was very lucky that the @WSJ hired Nurit to illustrate my weekly tech column in its early years, starting in 1991. Her art made a huge contribution to my effort to demystify the topic. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

I'm very sad to learn of the passing of the brilliant cartoonist Nurit Karlin, who illustrated my @WSJ tech columns in their early years. She was a strong ally in my efforts to humanize the topic, and she was wittier than I was. R.I.P. https://t.co/vyLlfxMAUm cc: @lizadonnelly https://t.co/MfqX2lviwz — PolitiTweet.org

@jeffdiecidue @karaswisher @Twitter @facebook That’s not what section 230 does. It prevents platforms from being held responsible for user content they publish. It needs to be repealed and the platforms need to be treated like publishers. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@skaye @karaswisher @Twitter @facebook I couldn’t disagree more about the Communications Decency Act. I think it needs to be either repealed or severely overhauled. I think we need regulation. I think the social media companies are publishers. BUT the 1996 law, a free pass, doesn’t make the government a partner. — PolitiTweet.org

As ⁦@karaswisher⁩ reminds us here, the First Amendment’s free speech clause *only* applies to the government. It doesn’t require platforms like ⁦@Twitter⁩ & ⁦@facebook⁩ to publish every vile thing people post. No matter what Trump thinks. https://t.co/ejsFKVvN08 — PolitiTweet.org
