@RobGlaser @TonyRomm Rob, tweets are too brief to express what I really think about @facebook and the damage it has done to civil society, democracy, internet users, and tech itself. It’s actually an insult to companies like @Microsoft and @Apple that they get lumped in with Zuckerberg & his cronies. — PolitiTweet.org

@karaswisher @wsakaren We did. And we ran two businesses together. Of course we disagreed on things, but we always settled the issues and made each other better. — PolitiTweet.org

@TomPurcell @LaurenGoode That’s one good example. Then there was that feature that supposedly paused videos when you looked away. — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyRomm Not enough to change behavior. Should be at least a full year’s earnings with higher amounts for future violations. Plus jail time (yes, I know FTC can’t do that.) This is not a normal company that flouted the law once. It’s a serial racketeer, a cancer on society and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

@JuliaAngwin Is it always true that a non-profit entity can’t have a board or some sort of governance structure until it’s designated 501c3? If so, that seems crazy. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@LaurenGoode Yup. And it’s not the first time. I can think of a whole bunch of lesser things, mostly software features, that they shipped first, but which just weren’t ready or didn’t work. — PolitiTweet.org

The best privacy journalist of our time, ⁦@JuliaAngwin⁩, was ousted in a coup from the new news organization she created. Most of the staff quit in protest. It’s an awful situation that will be a big test for the main funder, ⁦@craignewmark⁩. https://t.co/m6lbxz7brD — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless The earliest modern federal regulatory agency, the now-defunct I.C.C., which regulated railroads, was created in part because the railroads, realizing regulation was coming, wanted a single federal agency that superseded state laws and which they could influence. Same thing now. — PolitiTweet.org

Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg

@reckless This is the key point: Facebook is getting behind federal regulation to gain a single point for lobbying and compliance. It’s not because they are public spirited. This is an old business tactic: push for a weaker federal law that supersedes stronger state ones. — PolitiTweet.org
