Plus, it's now clearly being rolled out by Facebook as a PR project, which undermines it further. That's important to note and understand, as we analyze it and talk about it.

And that's where I think this piece is actually pretty strong. I didn't read this and think "wow, FB is really being thoughtful about this." I read this and thought "wow, so messy, such drama."

I would be the last person to disagree with that point. And make what you will about palace intrigue. But I'm an org scholar, and I learn about the org when I read pieces like this. Having more people with more access would help me triangulate some of these accounts tbh.

Heh, it's definitely true one learns from reading these pieces. But I'd read anything: the minutes of the board, any Facebok documents, whatever. I just try to remain clear-eyed about *what* I'm reading, and what process it is part of.
