At the moment we have a situation where a former Facebook product manager is advising a Facebook-reliant Congress on how to regulate an industry whose irredeemable business model she saw no problem with for eight years or more. And now the Facebook Supreme Court will hear all!

A key policy question is whether the surveillance advertising business model is intrinsically harmful or just needs lots of guard rails around it. You're not going to hear the first point of view articulated by anyone who worked for years at these companies, by definition.pic.twitter.com/2AUfBQmSj0

People trying to make the case to regulators in 2021 that Facebook's manipulation-for-hire business model is irredeemable are in the same position as anti-tobacco crusaders who had to testify back when there was an ashtray in front of every congressman.

She brought the documented proof. That must come for inside. Props to her and others who stood up against what they saw internally. Shame on the rest that saw and just kept cashing their checks.

I'm not sure that position is fair. I have my own nuanced thoughts about her, but in many ways she's no different than a US congressperson fighting a US policy they disagree with. Yes, they were "a part of the problem", but then again not necessarily.

I don't think that's a valid analogy. Most people don't choose their citizenship or form of government, but everyone at Facebook chose to work there. A better analogy would be relegating military policy to only those people who served in the armed forces.
