>As recently as just after the U.S. elections in November, he attempted to dodge responsibility for Facebook’s role in shaping the outcome. Now, three months later, he is ready to take charge of the security, accuracy and diversity of how the world shares information. And he wants our help.
Damned if you do nothing, and then damned if what you do is a transparent and empty attempt to evade anything like personal or corporate responsibility going forward. Especially damned if you're a very well known quantity, and what is known about you is less than flattering.
Doesn't trip off the tongue quite so nicely, but it has the benefit of being true.
Those aren't the only decisions you have. Pretending you don't have any say in what's going on and then stepping in and pulling... whatever it is that he's trying to do now, are both not helpful.
Not really possible, unless you mean shutting down Facebook completely. They could get rid of the trending section, but I think people directly posting and sharing random bullshit is a more significant and difficult problem.
FB involving themselves in what people post to each other is the greater problem. FB would absolutely not have to shut down if they refrained from making business decisions based on what you post.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
