"I came forward at great personal risk" ???

blumenthal - zuckerberg is the algorithm designer in chief is he not? "whistleblower" - I received an mba from harvard (lol), and we are taught the buck stops at the ceo (tl;dr "no")

blackburn absolutely losing her mind over both 1) kids keep sneaking onto facebook, and 2) facebook was trying to create a safer product for kids sneaking onto facebook

odd the "whistleblower" is just admitting she decided to come forward after facebook dissolved her team

it's unfortunate the "whistleblower" was moved to less interesting projects on account of, she insists, her team would have prevented the jan 6 riots. any word on how they didn't prevent the preceding six months of riots??

omg lmao buzzfeed wrote facebook to say "the most successful content we're producing we're ashamed of, YOU have a problem" - both admitting they're garbage, and blaming facebook, amazing everything i've said thus far is wrong, "whistleblower" rules

maria cantwell just said newspapers have to serve the public good otherwise they can be sued, which should come as fairly interesting news to pretty much every person who has ever read the news

repeatedly, the "whistleblower" pushes for legislation that would end the algorithm and bring about "human scale" social media, which is to say large tech platforms would no longer be able to mint influencers capable of competing with the institutional press. interesting!
