Otherwise, until facebook cannot make money doing what it is doing it will continue to do what it is doing. No politico/journalista whining would change that.
That's impossible thanks to the dual-class share structure that gives Zuckerberg complete control of the company.
The point is that all of the whining coming from journalistas/political class/guides/policy wonks etc is nothing other than whining of the former jocks who got de-throned.
Or that it might be a serious problem to have a global scale company that has perfected shoveling content to people so well that it can be hijacked to shovel lies into whole countries. It's probably worth talking about. The fact that it's controlled entirely by one person is just another wrinkle.
Does that mean there can't be a legitimate criticism?
That's why we have government regulation.
"That's why we have government regulation."
We do not have government regulation for the content.
"Facebook successfully blocks all sorts of content because of its policies (porn) and government policies (child porn)."
No, facebook is blocking all kinds of content because in its view it can make less money allowing this content than not allowing this content.
If facebook/twitter/tumblr/google/etc blocked child porn then there would have been no child porn on these platforms. Child porn does exist on these platforms because it is not being blocked.
