The addition of the false dichotomy between a violent protest and Occupy Wall Street in his tweet does tie a pretty bow on it all.

GreyjoyBastard posted:we need regulations to exist in the first place, and I'm not particularly sure what those would be in specific - for example, on the Fake News Ad question, what's the solution? note, I'm not saying those regulations can't exist, I just haven't put a terribly large amount of thought into it and think it's an interesting and productive discussion topic Make facebook legally responsible for the content of the ads on their platform. the DMCA safe harbor provision is fine for FB to avoid prosecution for illegal things said on their platform in unpaid posts, but if those posts are boosted or an ad is run, then fb should be legally obligated to guarantee the veracity of the ad. for every single ad impression they show of something false or illegal or defamatory, fine them $1000. Show something false for 5M impressions? That'll be $5B. basically, "if you're going to make money off showing this, under pain of debilitating fines, you're going to legally certify that it's true." Their ad business doesn't need to react instantaneously for them to stay in business. Any argument that this produces an undue burden on them for fact checking can be met with "you've been making undue profits long enough." EDIT: but that doesn't let facebook employees off the hook. if hell is real, which it is not, every single facebook employee will enjoy eternity there.

Is it actually illegal to run a false ad (that doesn't rise to the US's hilairously difficult defamation standards), though? Would it be constitutional to make it so? edit also having a beef against the Facebook grunts is Kinda Weird

Yeah I'm a huge fan of stripping off section 230 protections from paid advertising. I would take it further and strip it from any algorithmic selection and display of content which a person has not specifically requested, since at that point the platform is no longer just a dumb host but the creator of content in the form of the timeline. If your algorithm starts "suggesting" Nazi videos and scam sites, you should be legally responsible.

The founders of whatsapp left multiple billions on the table to leave facebook 1-2 years earlier than agreed. All they had to do was show up occasionally and cash a check bigger than most people can conceive of, and they left. My general point is that in tech, specifically in software engineering, we are past the point where an employee can ignore the moral and ethical consequences of what the organization they choose to work in does. Where you work matters, what they do matters. Software engineers who don't work at facebook aren't starving. they're not the only company hiring.

Angry_Ed posted:Alternatively the GOP are so loving boring as human beings they only get and enjoy cheese pizza, and I say this as a person who likes just plain cheese pizza from time to time. I’m not gonna pretend that DC has a pizza scene like literally every major east coast city north of DC, but there have to be at least twenty local joints of different types and flavor profiles within the same cost bracket (or cheaper) and delivery distance to the Capitol’s Dominos. Like either scalise is actually that dumb and intellectually bland or it’s a GOP affectation for the viewers at home or he’s wealthy and disconnected (and dumb and intellectually bland) enough that he’s never ordered from a pizzeria in DC and never thought to do so, or he’s throwing some contempt at the press. It’s like that picture of Trump White House staffers drinking coors lights and natty ices to celebrate some milestone of destroying good things back in early 2017. Like even a public school staff party can shell out for some Blue Moon or whatever. This was like a look into their souls, it told you everything about them that you needed to know.

Alkydere posted:Because Fox, as TV people, know what optics are. Which means they knew how bad this could potentially end up looking. Especially if the idiots stood around for a bit with their thumbs up their butt then got rejected and the normal work continued delayed by only an hour or two. So they don't show the thing, at least not in real time, in order to avoid placing a narrative on their channel that a bunch of congressmen humiliated themselves. I think Fox is just waiting for talking points (aka marching orders) from the White House.
