      Don't know what's scarier in this new Zuckerberg interview. The repeated, totally inappropriate use of the word "community" or this which lot of people at Facebook genuinely believe—that they don't act like a business just because they *occasionally* hold back from the worst.pic.twitter.com/lRr6cmZ9gH

      Almost all established companies occasionally hold back from the worst, and that's also why we have oversight. This kind of moment when a few people see themselves as good, very good people, therefore equipped and ready to make these kinds of decisions for billions: so dangerous!

      In any case, yet another one of those interviews where Zuckerberg says "yes, we ignored *that* for a decade, but now we will do better. I don't understand why people don't appreciate how good we are. This time we will do better. Sorry about ignoring all that for a decade."

      At some point, you'd hope a bunch of smart people to think, wait, is there something more than how good we are to this thing where we repeatedly argue that, yes, sorry about ignoring that for a long time, but we are good people. Something structural? Something about incentives?

      One could probably dig up many interviewswith very similar sentiment, just some other set of incidents. Sorry, you didn't want all that to be public? Sorry, privacy is important. Sorry clickbait is unhealthy. Sorry ethnic cleansing isn't acceptable speech. Who could've KNOWN?

      Anyway, here's the full interview. History is full of massive harm done by people with great power who are utterly convinced that because they believe themselves to have good intentions, they cannot do harm or cause grave harm.https://www.vox.com/2018/4/2/17185052/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-interview-fake-news-bots-cambridge …

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Rachel Cohen

      Facebook's repeated insistence that they mean well but just constantly blindsided--despite giant warning signs and a chorus of people trying to warn them--isn't an apology, it is an admission that they are not equipped to handle this kind of power.https://twitter.com/rmc031/status/980789717028540417 …

          Replying to @zeynep

          We've been talking a lot about how much they overshot their own understanding of social systems and how little they cared to research possible ramifications of their decisions. Zuckerberg is part of the movement to eschew academic research for just doing it and being legends.

          Would you respond with regulation like early ATT (forcing interop and certain beneficial behaviors), later ATT (forcing breakup), or something else?

          Jailtime for zuckerberg and a range of other negligent senior executives. Thorough oversight and regulatory reform, driven by proven bipartisan experts with serious credentials. Series of intellectual property confiscations to force the breakup of dangerous monopolies.

          blindsided? they are doing exactly what they intend to do, and just sprinkle it with apologies whenever they get negative publicity... they don't mean well, and they never did.

          You mean the company that started by exploiting the "dumb fucks"? That was actually stolen? That willfully ignored all the warnings from ppl like you, Danah Boyd, Evgeny Morozov and then regulators and newspapers and users. Yep well meaning indeed

          In answer to Klein's second question, MZ also tellingly confounds "reach of the Internet" with "scale of companies like ours."
