Mark Zuckerberg Wants to Make Sure His Competitors Share His Pain
nytimes.comI expect this will result in increased lobbying for ID verification.
The trick is, as i see it, to externize the cost of externalizing the cost. I think Mark is trying to create a broad coalition in broad daylight to strongarm for pushing the verification layer further and further from his (and his "competitors") margins.
The ID stuff is gross to me. Adults should be responsible for their children. I'm tired of picking up the slack for crap parenting.
Society picks up the slack for a lot of bad stuff that others do, so it's fine, you can't expect all the parents to be great parents, I've met some to whom I'd not give even a tamagochi, but they have kids and those kids need to be taken care of regardless.
Passing the buck further down the line only to enrich the well-to-do isn't exactly the meaning of "it takes a village to raise a child".
and asserting this to be true, do you really think these kinds of laws in ANY kind of way helps?
This settlement sold the people out. Facebook basically changes nothing while recording even more personal data.
... and setting the terms for future "user engagement".
Its important to understand that the grift economy requires the victims to be responsible for their victimhood.
