Why do they all spend so much time making the idea of progress, of the future, seem so deeply boring?

Possibly! But we’ve also learned — again, the entire history of Twitter — that keeping it as a black box also makes it possible to work the refs.

I don’t think there’s a silver bullet but the lack of transparency feeds into conspiracy and reduces trust in the overall enterprise.

They need to learn from Twitter and build more of the comms into them product, something Twitter didn’t do nearly enough of.

Don’t just say “account not found,” provide some detail of why in the account page. Especially for a temp action like this.

Any time Dems get accused of being elitist just show this screen shot.

Healthcare for the GOP? Be a millionaire, and then get a millionaire and a billionaire to reach out to the President for you. Cancer solved.

Individual sub cancellations are gonna mean much. Multi-millionaire talent refusing to work with Disney and Paramount? That might.

Worry not, I’m sure Taibbi, Weiss, and Shellenberger are all over this and will expose the government efforts to stomp on our 1st Amendment rights.

Really feels like the time has come to nationalize journalism (and yeah, I know he’s not a journalist.)

Corporate objectives and profit will always outweigh editorial integrity. Separate them entirely.

Likely doesn’t help that most news organizations did away with the reporters who followed this and surfaced it. Or that so many universities shut down their research teams. Allowing it all to take place in the shadows makes it all worse.
