So, I want to give a shout out to -- "pessimism" as one of the good things?

Weird, I know. But I would say that a little over a decade ago, it feels like Facebook wasn't even being questioned and that everything new in tech was always awesome. And was always like, we are screwed if people don't begin to see how creepy this stuff is.

Now, I mean, there's work to do, but I don't get seen as the paranoid weirdo when I criticize Facebook anymore. :)
