This. It's about time Gov's united to at the very least make Facebook's life very difficult. It has crossed the line too many times ->
X : Why Facebook, why not Amazon?
Me : Strip away from the leadership principles of Amazon those principles that are universal (i.e. doctrine) and what you're left with are very individualistic beliefs (i.e. values) that probably reflect Amazon's origins ...
i.e. Amazon is a very "libertarian" organisation focused on commmerce. Do the same with Facebook and you end up with an organisation that had wider ambitions of creating "social value" i.e. highly political with no definition of what that is ...
... many a dictatorship started with the same vaunted goals. I look at Amazon as a commercial entity focused on industrialisation and its users benefits. I look at Facebook as an increasingly political organisation focused on replacing Government. They are very different.

Do shout out if this is helping, if it's too confusing, which parts of it don't make sense, if you don't understand this or that, where it's going hopelessly wrong or what you disagree with etc etc. All feedback welcome.

X : I’ve used your maps and they’re rubbish.
Me : They’re imperfect (being a map) and they’re wrong (being a model) but then all maps are. They can still be useful. Why rubbish?
X : Waste of time.
Me : You didn’t learn anything whilst mapping or that didn’t help in discussion?
X : Too complex and caused too many arguments.
Me : What arguments?
X : I had hoped the maps would help the group agree on an approach. Ended up with arguments over whether we should do it.
Me : And that’s a bad thing?
X : Yes, we have tight schedules and the map just caused more confusion in the team.
Me : So the maps helped bring disagreement to the surface?
X : At a time when we need to focus this was not helpful.
Me : Maybe the map isn’t rubbish, maybe what you’re doing is?

"End the free movement of people, once and for all" ... what a grim statement to emphasise. We already have a point based system, purpose of brexit should be a truly global trading nation which means a very liberal immigration policy and the investment that is needed ->
so by all means emphasise how the existing immigration policy disadvantaged non EU nationals, how it is unjust in nature and how we need to create a liberal policy that welcomes everyone to the UK ... but to start with "ending free movement" ... bad messaging.
Of course, the real issue with immigration is that we don't invest in it i.e. we need to build the services from infrastructure to health to education to policing in order support a larger population. This takes time and all these areas have been cut back due to austerity ...

"Connor," Hank says eventually, his voice a low rumble in his chest where Connor is resting his head. He reaches up, carding a hand through Connor's hair. "Come on, baby. Shower."

And that's the third time that night that Connor knows he should go.
It's not the first time someone has offered, but he always cleans up back at the squat. He always wears some other man's sweat on his skin the whole way home, makes himself live with it, with himself.

He should do the same tonight.
And he's trying so hard to get the words off his tongue - "My sister will be worried", "I have to be somewhere early tomorrow", "I don't want to call a cab at three in the morning" - but instead he turns his face into Hank's neck, breathing him in.

If you've read my piece on why now is the time to break up #Facebook, and you want to learn more about the topics of corporate concentration and breaking up monopolies, here's a recommended reading list: medium.com/@chrishughes/a…
The best primer on the topic is "The Curse of Bigness." Written by @superwuster, it makes a case that antitrust has always been about holding the most powerful accountable. indiebound.org/book/978099974…
After reading #CurseofBigness, go deeper on the link between inequality and antitrust in a paper called “Market Power and Antitrust.” Its authors, @linamkhan and @sandeepvaheesan, have gone out of their way to make the writing accessible and lucid. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

I’m covering opening arguments of the first federal trial over claims that Monsanto’s Roundup causes cancer this morning. The line to get into the courtroom was hella long.
Judge Chhabria is in the courtroom and asked attorneys if there are any issues he needs to address before bringing in the jury. Both sides are asking the judge to reconsider some pre-trial rulings, mostly re what's admissible during the 1st causation phase of this 2-phase trial.
Judge Chhabria isn't budging on any of his pre-trial rulings. He's calling in the jury in a few minutes.

@Facebook “used us for crisis PR...They are more interested in making themselves look good & passing the buck…I strongly believe that they are spreading fake news on behalf of hostile foreign powers and authoritarian governments.” ~@brooklynmarie

HT @ChiefCovfefe
Facebook was pushing reporters to prioritize debunking misinformation that *affected Facebook advertisers*, which @brooklynmarie thought crossed a line: “You’re not doing journalism anymore. You’re doing #propaganda.”🤬

Another fact-checker who has long worked on the #Facebook partnership said they were demoralized, saying that #Facebook is “a terrible company and, on a personal level, I don’t want to have anything to do with them.”🔥
