He was fine with Facebook breaking users privacy, aggregating data, spying on users over smartphone mics, but a Tweet cuts the line?
Admirable of him, but I have a pretty big feeling that although he is working(ed) at Facebook, he is quite green for the real world.
The only reason this made it up on HN is because people have an emotional hatred for FB.
Interesting. I have a hard time understanding out how it could be any clearer.
Sure, censor POTUS so when the tanks roll in, people have no idea what's going on.
I think it's pretty clear that your national leader should never be censored because the people he's governing have an absolute right to know every single thing he says.
Even TV stations have to cut away from his nonsense, should that be illegal?
Whether this should be a legal requirement, I can't say. But it does seem pretty clear that if POTUS is speaking to the public, the public should be able to hear the message if they choose, regardless of whether you personally dislike the message or POTUS.
Ours is a capitalist democracy. It's meaningless whether people "dislike" the message or the messenger, at least until it affects audience or advertisers.
It's pretty easy to close your eyes about a shitty thing your company might be doing, because for your personnally staying is a good deal.
It's much harder to do when everyone else is judging you about it.
This is not a stab at the person than resigned, I think this is a normal human behavior, we are pretty egoistic creatures.
