Friends, FB’s role in takedown of @FBoversight website looks like authoritarian censorship and testimony to Mr. Zuckerberg’s tyranny. It showcases the problems we joined up to fight: power, economic self-dealing, political corruption. @carolecadwalla , @tribelaw , @Moonalice 1/4
But even if it were ‘just business' triggered by domain name, consider the atrocity: FB allows Trump lies, trolls, calls to violence, fraudulent election claims, misinformation, voter suppression, fake videos, but acts quickly and decisively in favor of its domain protection? 2/4
Either way we are sucked into the moral vacuum at the heart of this societal threat, while corporate policy is delivered in crude dismissive tweets at an American moment heavy with danger. 3/4
Right now we double down, demanding effective measures to protect the 2020 election and the peaceful transfer of power. But after this crisis, it’s time to reinvent social media for people. Enough of this. Enough. 4/4
