      There was always much to do inside the company—and concrete proposals. They dismissed us because they were so smug *and* yet so naïve. 8/8

      A large group of us have been explaining the consequences of their decisions to Facebook and suggesting steps for years. We were dismissed.

      Folks, seriously, Facebook's ad manager from 2012 whose current "suggestions" repeat what I suggested in 2012. 🙄 ➡️ https://twitter.com/antoniogm/status/916268263696424960 …

      This is a huge part of the problem. Facebook doesn't listen when it matters and after damage is done, reacts a bit—mints money meanwhile.

      And dismisses all realistic warnings in real time. That FB ad manager literally thought we were wearing "tin foil hats" when he ran things.

      Yes, changing to a new info milieu is a hugely challenging, complex issue. Yes, broken politics underlies it all. But WE ARE NOT HELPLESS.

      Tech giants—Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple—hugely benefited, and are in a position to do most. Time for accountability and responsibility.

          but seriously, unless NSA is really actively liaising with DGSE/DGSI, what is the role of CI.

          Federal guidelines for mediation on social media platforms? Politicians today would write a 400 page constitution. Lets crowdsource this.
