Now that Facebook and other platforms have become “digital arms dealers”, Zuckerberg takes a crash course in free speech and propaganda, at a cost to the public
NYT Tweets: NYT Opinion / @nytopinion : Taking walks is Zuckerberg's signature thing; every tech founder has one. (Jeff Bezos: doors for desks and that laugh; Sergey Brin: yoga pants and weird shoes; Elon Musk: so, so many.) — @karaswisher in her first Op-Ed piece as a Times contributing writer. http://www.nytimes.com/... Richard Nieva / @richardjnieva : Nugget from @karaswisher's NYT column: Zuckerberg has been meeting with academic experts on free speech and propaganda over the last month https://www.nytimes.com/... Jason Kint / @jason_kint : I appreciated her unique perspective into Zuck but it's a reasonable take. It's why we've thought Sandberg actually have to answer questions was critical. Intersection on all of the decisions leading to where we are today with questions still unanswered or buried. http://twitter.com/... Brianna Wu / @spacekatgal : Wow. @karaswisher's debut for @nytopinion is dead on. We're paying a hefty price for Facebook learning as they go. It's literally endangering this country and others. Glad to see this shift in op-ed page at the Times. This is a huge step up in quality. http://www.nytimes.com/... Kim-Mai Cutler / @kimmaicutler : Google has an internal culture of fierce debate and discourse while Facebook's internal culture is so aggressively and uniformly messianic that employees and leadership can't possibly comprehend that they could ever be the bad guys. That's why it's the more dangerous company. http://twitter.com/... See also Mediagazer
