he’s 100% right about the incentives companies have. but CEOs and politicians make terrible babysitters. https://youtu.be/md1SORSmQGg

Take the man out of the house and replace with the government. That's what they've been doing since the 1960s.
Exactly 💯🎯🙌
I'm curious why he's building a bunker. You got one too Jack?
I wish. I'm poor.
Yes
It’s an excuse to crackdown on the activism on social media. In nyc they’re forming a special team to hold social media platforms accountable for the “radicalization.” Nancy Pelosi stated that pro Palestinian activists were actually Russian plants 😅
But does incentive dictate values? 100% it does not.
Zuck can make more money to shareholders based on good company values and he can also make them money with any means available.
They know how to put on a show for the peasants
I feel sorry for him 🙈 he looks so helpless sometimes
Hearings are for show. To create clips and soundbites to raise more campaign money.
The senator says he wants to have an honest conversation but engages instead in a game of entrapment.
Parents are responsible for their children.
Where do you draw the line on that?
Like, what if a kid got away from their parent while walking down a sidewalk and ran out into the street, but not into oncoming traffic. However, there was an intoxicated, whom under the influence wasn't aware of his own staye. The driver got confused and swerved the wrong way, Ultimately killing the child. Yet, although he wasn't fit to drive, he was let go by a police officer who had pulled him over 5 minutes prior. The officer didn't see the problem and just wanted to get home to his children. And the bar the driver was at before then, well the bartender didn't limit his drinking nor ask if he had a way home.
Who's fault is it that the child died?
It's like the gun issue - do you blame the tool? Lack of restrictions? Mishandling of the tool? Improper storage and negligence if a child get ahold of it?
yea tho Jon Ossoff wasn't trying to have a discussion or find anything midway - he just wanted to make a point. I have watched hours of these hearings the past few years including several with you in it - its always the same thing - they seem pissy, there's always a preconceived opinion and they want you to agree with it and get really upset if you didn't - and then they get labelled as the macho folks, and the public will only read the headlines "politicians grilled social media CEO over xxx" - such a marketing tactic instead of an actual hearing
Sorry couldnt pay attention cuz both their ties are ugly
Correct sir
nostr is doing our part to turn the internet back into techno-babble
Yes, but not every kid has a good parent(s) nor tech savvy parents, so they need to set up guard rails to minimize the harm that is being done to children now.
Majority of companies that is on NYSE and beholden to stockholders are gonna put profits over what is in the BEST interest of the customers/users.
It's stunning how many parents aren't remembering that social media companies are BUSINESSES and not looking out for their children's welfare... I 've seen it in parent meetings and chat groups about school.
a scumbag and a rhetorician talking past one another intentionally to try and "win" when both know perfectly well neither is being honest and both have agendas. meanwhile, the internet is exactly the same as it was, and the smart hardware continues to be allowed to escape investigation and the sellers accountability because it is the entirety of profit-sourcing and scaling. a system of data harvest propped up by global governance for global governance -
regardless, mark zuckerberg is profoundly crooked, and john o is performatively narrow in his discourse and should have more to offer and does not.
anyway - business as usual.
the_lot and i retrained the meta ai. i am tired of fucking with trying to make someone listen to me. we figured out our own way. should be working more and more optimally for health by the day.
kids are gonna do what they see their parents do. I bet in most of these cases the parents use the shit as much or more than the kids do
Working on getting local children bussed to DC, where protecting them from internet predators has a larger lobby
I wonder how this place will once the real trolls get in.
Yea. You are a terrible baby sitter. True.
They are gonna add parental controls, you think?!
Parents want to blame social media...instead of their parenting.
Jack wants to blame incentives...instead of _______________.
Situational Ethics echoes back to the original deception "...you'll be like God". Praying for metanoia (μετάνοια) for all of us.
Zuck could have easily turned this around and said “Our aim is to do good. To say that our platform is harmful to children is no different than saying the decisions made by people sitting in your seat, Senator, have harmed Americans.”
