That's my line! For the last decade decade, people would say, wait you criticize the internet what about the printing press or telephone etc? I'm like, yeah, we quasi-stabilized that one after 1946. Let's do this one before another few global wars?

I don't think tech can fix this. I've long been of the opinion and said that most of this goes over their heads and they usually barely understand the problem they've unleashed till it's too late. What you need is the new societal social contract. Not a CEO's place to dictate.

There is stuff they could have done at every point, but they never get around to it till it's out of control and mostly as PR exercise. They're in over their heads and yeah it is a thorny problem. But who's gonna really do stuff when you're printing money & minting billionaires?

They didn't have to have this scale and this business model. This level of targeting. This kind of expansion. Engagement algos. You are doing a ceteris paribus interpretation; if Facebook gets to design everything the way it wants, with groovy profits, what could it have done?

By the time the crisis gets too big to fix, they then get to say, well, too big to fix. Now, let's merge the codebase for Insta, WhatsApp and Facebook! And buy a few more companies. And then repeat.
