Late night tweetstorm time. It seems that nearly everyone believes that regulation at a certain point hinders innovation, but I think almost everyone underestimates their net effect

Dude you are stepping up to defend two of the absolute worst destroyers of the public commons - AirBNB and Uber. Absolutely remarkable that that’s all you’ve got.

Clearly in rejecting a “strawman” (it’s not) you admit you’re willing to draw a line. But your line is far beyond acceptable. Your criteria (“it’s inconvenient”) suck. Join the rest of us in Humanity. Tech ain’t everything and you’re not gonna save the world with Code alone.

Of COURSE I’m willing to draw a line, why would you assume I’m not? Perhaps the world isn’t so binary as you seem to believe it is

But so far all we know is that Austen draws the line where it’s convenient for Austen, not where the world needs it to be drawn in order for the world and real people’s lives to not be wreck by the tech that Austen deems worthy of breaking the rules.

That’s not what I’m suggesting in the slightest, if you would actually read what I wrote and stop strawmanning. I never said I or Silicon Valley or tech should be able to draw where the line is, I only said where the line is drawn matters much more than people think and that 1/2

It’s actually better when the line is clearly drawn than when there’s no line at all
