Facebook ‘Knew What It Was Doing,’ Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt Says

Remember those almost extinct IT dinosaurs that warned against over-sharing personal data? They knew too... It is a personal decision to do that and in that case it is fine, but people should be aware of the consequences it can entail. And please don't look for technical solutions for censorship when people can just withdraw easily. Because it would also affect those that didn't make it a problem.

I still think the idea to have a ministry of truth manned with former social media employees is an extremely bad idea. That extends to all government control of information. I think the relationship between politics and social media companies is already too close and this is hostile to democracy for more than wrong information on the internet (oh dear)...
