Ads attached to content or broad demographic categories/big buckets with a sensible public(ish) registry, actual proper levels of staffing especially in countries where things are already tense, messaging as e2e but small scale, moves to create some real market competition...

Let me run the world, and I do have a plan—but it's broader than Facebook which is the most visible, powerful actor along with Google. The whole data ecology/surveillance is like pre-FDA food safety. This isn't good for us. They would probably survive my magic wand intervention.

I talked of dangers of microtargeting etc. as far back as 2012 & suggested steps that would stave off some of the worst―which FB adopted some—but only after 2016. I was talking of Myanmar crisis and its link to Facebook in 2013. You may be, but we're not all shocked and resigned.

Ask your friends at WhatsApp if I had ideas about those genuinly thorny issues, and for years when it was barely on the radar. It's not simply group messaging: the level of friction matters & I've been advocating for friction and smaller group size for years, among other things.

No, just answering the idea that these things hadn't occured to me (or to lots of people). There's a real hunger for speed, but we clamp down on it. We also put seatbelts and airbags on our two-ton speeding tanks. It works better in some countries than others but we try.

Both nihilism (it's human nature!) or cynicism (it will never get better!) is unproductive and also unwarranted. You build institutions around potent tools as best and as fast as you can. Human behavior is influenced by structures. You don't throw up your hands and make money.
