      My NYT op-ed: Facebook's "scandals" aren't bugs, they're features of how its business model works & how it operates. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/23/opinion/sunday/facebook-ad-scandal.html …pic.twitter.com/fv7BtE4w6H

      Hey, nice, but let me propose you listen to the zillion academics—not just me—warning you about this in 2012 when you thought we were crazy.

      Here's us 2012. You, thinking people pointing out consequences of FB business model are wearing tinfoil hats. Me: wearing tinfoil hat.pic.twitter.com/ulSY28qqec

      I DO appreciate people proposing solutions, but I truly wish it wasn't always wistful ex-Facebookers, and we got listened to in real time.

      Russians are a sideshow and a red-herring. They didn't even have a sophisticated operation. Truth: even crude stuff works on FB and on US.

      So I agree with some stuff you say, but it is a little tough to keep hearing people say that they didn't see THE OBVIOUS coming.

      The issue is structural, and I do believe there are people in Facebook and ex-Facebookers who get this. But The. Problem. Was. Obvious.

          So please, please start with helping the rest of the world and current Facebook understand why they keep missing the blatantly obvious.

          As Upton Sinclair says: 'It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
