Not nearly enough, but it would be the height of folly to assume that Zuck won't unashamedly utilize his knowledge of data analytics to undermine what little privacy protection we have left if given the opportunity to sit behind the Resolute Desk. Zuck may come across as a soulless data-driven automaton but he is not stupid and is imminently aware of the vastness of the NSA's data collection efforts and how powerful that information can be, perhaps to a much greater degree than most current sitting politicians are even able to grasp.

The tradeoff voting for Zuck would be cool because you'd probably get universal healthcare and maybe UBI out of it but on the other hand say goodbye to the 40 hour workweek and every tiny shred of power labor still has to make things better for workers.

Reminder that all the companies Trump touched to keep jobs in the US, moved all their jobs to Mexico.

Reminder, Trump thought he was smart not paying people the original agreed amounts in deals all the time in Atlanta, so that companies there added a secret 'Trump tax' to all their deals with him. Trump thought he was getting good deals ripping people off when he was actually paying the normal costs.

Reminder the world sees the US as a joke now.

Don't ban the T as that would be seen as limiting free speech though.

Twitter is the perfect tool for Turmp, just alter it subtly and make it the slightly imperfect tool.
Remove the character limitation? That'd probably throw him off his game.
Or a really annoying spellchecker you can't disable: "I see you're writing certain words in all capitals/using numerous exclamation marks, are you sure you want to proceed?" followed by a captcha.
Or autocorrecting Trump to turnip ("it's a known bug, we're working on it").

he'll edit a few tweets so that it looks like Trump said "I actually hate America and I also am a very fat very dumb man" and then Zuck will take out a bunch of ads mocking Trump for being too dumb to keep his account safe, at which point Trump will say "Nope I actually said all that and I meant it you idiots"

remember when trump tried to impress the russian ambassador by revealing classified information about the war against ISIS

and a few days after wapo reported it, trump decided to use a photo op with bibi netanyahu to reassure everybody he never disclosed that the source of the intelligence was israel, thereby unwittingly confirming that it was israel, even though no one had reported that in the first place
