If you have been inside @Apple’s vast Apple Park spaceship HQ, and seen its large adjoining buildings, it’s hard to believe the company has built another big campus nearby. This fascinating article details other building plans too, indicating Apple is busy with...something. — PolitiTweet.org

@JasonCross00 @TechmemeChatter @karaswisher @facebook Good idea. Too low, though. We need to get to a world where government fines for the most serious offenses - once full due process has been exhausted - can be levied in terms of entire years of revenue or profit, or large chunks of executives’ compensation or holdings. — PolitiTweet.org

@dsing42 @gassee @karaswisher @facebook I never said malicious. But they are definitely not naive. They are greedy and their actions show they are willing to operate on the edge of, and sometimes over, what is legal, even at the risk of great damage to democracies, minorities, and their users. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnmoldy @karaswisher @FTC @facebook I agree. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@prasanto @karaswisher @FTC @facebook Of course it did. It’s like fining a slumlord $50,000. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@DinaSrinivasan @karaswisher @FTC @facebook It’s a good start. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@karaswisher Let me say it again: for undermining elections, stealing and misusing personal info, violating consent decrees, and lying repeatedly, you get jail time. What @Facebook management did is far worse than what Michael Cohen did. And he deserves his jail time. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@profcarroll @DinaSrinivasan @karaswisher @FTC We need a *law* banning opt-outs online and requiring clearly explained opt-ins, with severe penalties for lying or obfuscation about what you’re asking users to opt into. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

As usual, @karaswisher is correct. The likeky @FTC fine against @facebook is far too tiny to influence its behavior or punish it for the damage it has done. She suggests adding zeros. I suggest calculating it in years of revenues. And, after we get a real DOJ back, jail time. — PolitiTweet.org

@BGrueskin @mathewi @CJR @karaswisher 3/ Our partnership was built on trust and unity. Even when we disagreed, we never doubted each others’ honesty or motives. We were always in it together. And journalism was #1, both online and on stage. From this @CJR piece, it sounds like trust went missing at The Markup. — PolitiTweet.org

@BGrueskin @mathewi @CJR @karaswisher 2/ She ran breaking company and industry news. I ran product news and reviews. She cared more than me about some aspects of the conference experiences. I got more involved than she did about details of our site design. But, on all matters, we each had vetoes & shared approval. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@BGrueskin @mathewi @CJR 1/ In my long career as a reporter, editor, columnist, and startup co-founder, I was never asked to take a personality test. And my excellent partner, @karaswisher, and I just naturally developed a system where we made the big decisions jointly, but each ran areas we knew best. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@backlon This too. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@backlon I agree 💯. The OS upgrades are dramatic, free, and,mat least on iOS, speedy and nearly universal. The cameras are more than good enough for most people. In my case, both battery life and longevity are decent, and replacements cheaper than new phones. I’ll wait for big changes. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@russellbrandom I agree 100%. This post does nothing to justify the coup against @JuliaAngwin, who conceived of the publication and whose track record made it possible. When I was co-executive editor at @allthingsd, I also hated meetings. But I worked hard with @karaswisher to make it work. — PolitiTweet.org
