*whispers* it's the *product*, not something you can superficially change by switching up your comms/policy team. *immediately runs away*

Cambridge Analytica is definitely a product/platform issue *before* it is a policy/comms scandal. Let me cite myself writing in.... 2010! https://www.adweek.com/digital/platforms-privacy/ …pic.twitter.com/gLPqBBmBQR

Also see @eldon’s coverage ( https://mobile.twitter.com/jasonkincaid/status/975065149001293825 … ) To say CA is fundamentally a policy/comms issue is just wrong. It is about the product decisions Facebook made long ago as it muttered under its breath that people don’t really care about privacy. OopsJason Kincaid added,
Jason KincaidVerified account @jasonkincaidThere were concerns by 2010 that Facebook didn't have the means to police how third parties abused user data (FB *loosened* policy to allow for long-term caching b/c they couldn't stop it) http://www.adweek.com/digital/facebook-updates-developer-data-retention-policies-tries-to-stop-user-abuse/ … http://www.adweek.com/digital/analysis-some-facebook-privacy-issues-are-real-some-are-not/ … Prescient analysis by@eldon in 2010: pic.twitter.com/5Ke4pHgQUl1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
it's fundamental. You have an unelected, unaccountable, unfathomably wealthy ruler who idolizes Roman emperors and does not intrinsically understand, nor will ever be in a position to understand, democratic accountability and governance.

no comms or policy team can make up for that. Also, Republicans are de facto regulating them by calling the ref on free speech/censorship and by implicitly raising the specter of de jure regulation from the Democratic party.

Like obviously these models are very different, but really *how* different is Kaplan having a senior role at Facebook than, say, the revived practice of the Chinese Communist Party pressuring JVs into installing party cells into corporate leadership. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/asia_pacific/command-and-control-chinas-communist-party-extends-reach-into-foreign-companies/2018/01/28/cd49ffa6-fc57-11e7-9b5d-bbf0da31214d_story.html …

Obvs the GOP is not forcing them to have a party member influence their company policies but clearly FB feels like it has to have senior party members at its highest levels of decision making in order to preemptively fend off de jure regulation.
