The Facebook Papers: dozens of stories based on whistleblower docs dropped
I can't help but think this "whistleblowing" is only good for Facebook's bottom line. I haven't seen anything pop up that's shocking or needed an internal person to be leaking it -- "it's bad for kids," "they don't censor enough hate speech," etc.It just seems to me that it's setting up for a bunch of new legislation that only allows section 230 protection if platforms implement a ton of moderation that only the existing, big player platforms could possibly keep up with, ensuring that smaller platforms (or ones that don't want to censor as much) could never hope to exist. Facebook gets to censor more, keeping controversial stuff off their site, and they don't even take the blame because "it's the law," PLUS all potential competition is gone. Sounds great for Zuck!
