things like this specific issue are where i tend to chafe at mark's statement casting doubt on the specific nature of what the power of the internet can do and compares it to printing press — one cant build the self-styled best targeting machine in human history and downplay it

weird disconnect to me is that mark is literally asking to be regulated right now at the same time many are screaming tech has too much power (though to be fair he wants to be regulated in a way most desirable for FB — like content mod guidelines — minus the whole breakup part)
