      Wait, now it occurs to folks like @ghoshd7 and the Dems that Big Tech is a business? Please spare me their born-again sanctimoniousness after so much egregious puckering up: Once Cozy With Silicon Valley, Democrats Grow Wary of Tech Giantshttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/23/technology/democrats-silicon-valley.html …

      Thanks for the pinned tweet, @karaswisher ;) The main point we're trying to make is that the political economy underlying ad tech has enabled disinformation, but the issue extends beyond just the three big companies and more needs to be done to address this reality.

      I agree with you on the political ads. But as a longtime critic of tech’s lack of responsibly, I wonder where you all were when you all could have made a difference. Margrete Vestager certainly has been, for example.

      I'm with you. The Obama admin made serious efforts -- including through the CPBR bill -- which I think could have dented disinformation operations through progressive privacy reform. Those efforts didn't make much progress because of external gridlock, though.

      Come on. The Obama administration punted on serious regulatory action on all the tech companies, several times. Now they are too big to easily control.

      I've been writing about this for many years, quite publicly. When I wrote this op-ed in 2012 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/opinion/i-am-not-big-brother.html …, data director of Obama campaign called it "malarkey" in a counter op-ed. That was just the public backlash. I was vilified for so long *by Dems* for this piece.

      Here's his counter op-ed. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/06/opinion/i-am-not-big-brother.html … And that was the politest thing I heard. Many of us, not just me, have a huge body of work on this very topic, and that work was ignored by Silicon Valley, ignored by the administration. "Ignored" was the politest response we got.

          Zeynep — I have immense respect for you. I don’t know Ethan. But more important, neither of us can speak for the entire Obama policy apparatus. Did the administration consider privacy reform earnestly? Yes. Could some things have been done better? Of course — they always can.

          Thank you but the issue isn't about individuals. My sense is they (administration plus the party) thought that technology would always be on their side, that they would be better at it... So let it be. I heard this so many times. A reckoning with that reality would be helpful.
