Never understood this argument If you don't like Facebook, don't use it! Order from somewhere else besides Amazon! But will you really...?

DTC is pretty safe on Facebook. That's what they want you doing. The risk is in doing anything that the platform decides it likes, and chooses to replicate.

media (eg nyt) a less democratic tech giant for content creation is fighting more democratic and open tech giants. it is just a competition big guys are playing.

That's fair and should keep happening but can't we also address the excesses like Cambridge analytica, Russian intelligence ad buying et al? Can't we all be ok with the idea that good things have bad elements and like anything flaws can be fixed?

Keep the good . Fix the bad but ignoring even unintended externalities of production processes breeds cultural resentment. The ground is moving under them. Social media addiction is real and insiders have spoken Hate anti trust? Try public health. Try national security? Be smart

Would you want people who still use fax machines in charge of this. Do you see the regulatory environment getting better with potentially entirely progressive governments the most extreme elements of which will be ready to see and say the worst. Lead it an be the adults you are.

Circle the wagons and put your fingers in your ear and you look like a person who thinks they're above the laws of the society from which they have drawn their wealth and position yet refuses to recognise the laws that protect it. Tech luminaries are my heroes but not kings.

Then people who should look to you as examples of what works and should be copied end up resenting you and being blind to the hard work and efforts of people whose idrive nnovation and cteativiry should lie at the heart of how we aim in education to make new people.

has anyone testified in favor of amazon?
