When called in front of congress 3 years ago, Zuck tried to play-act accountability by saying they’d share key data with researchers. But FB made a fundamental error in gathering that data. nytimes.com/live/2020/2020… Since then all the links to the original announcement are dead.
Either Facebook is too incompetent internally to share the data necessary to enforce a bare minimum of accountability, or Facebook is so corrupt that they undermined the data-sharing process, knowing it would be years before the truth came out. Which is it?
And either way, Facebook culture will draw the lesson that trying to share accountability data only for them criticized, so they should even *try* to be accountable in the future. They’ll see any work with credible researchers as a PR risk.
