    This! Silicon Valley logic is to scale it all up: by code or by one set of instructions for billions. Humanity is irreducibly more complex.https://twitter.com/el33th4xor/status/866460647969742849 …

    What's actually shocking is that Facebook believes it can use just one set of guidelines for the entire world. https://amp.theguardian.com/news/2017/may/21/revealed-facebook-internal-rulebook-sex-terrorism-violence …

        Tech is profitable because their business model is to do everything on the cheap. Crowd-sourced moderation+too few employees. Core problem.

        It works to automate, say, an accounting procedure that is repeatedly done the same way. When your business is human interaction? Fails.

        I also don't think they want to acknowledge their low-life users. That was one of MySpace's problems.

        Yep, "fly-over states mentality, applied to the world"... if it works for them, it works for everyone.

        There are governments pushing FB to comply with their laws, esp. Germany. See my Foreign Affairs piece:https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/germany/2017-05-16/how-germany-tackling-hate-speech …
