Zuckerberg: I just shared the following note with our employees

As someone who doesn't use facebook at all, this reads as so hilarious. Zuck knows, in this "difficult moment", his internal employee memo would leak, so he makes it public outside the walled garden.

Hey Mark, let us know when you have something concrete to say to us peons.

I think you have your answer.

almost every paragraph in that post starts with "we will" or "we have". I'm sure Mark actually meant to say "I will" given that he more or less has unilateral control over the entire community of 2.5 billion people. The world's largest autocracy if you will.

Wild propopsal, if the community and in this case the voices of African-American members matter so much, why not give up some of that decision making power

He is clearly viewing this as another technical problem to solve. He's a highly technical person; this follows.

But the issues he's being confronted with aren't technical issues of permissions and algorithm tuning; they're societal problems of power dynamics and information manipulation. These are human traits. They aren't problems that are "solved." They're issues that you have to take a stance on. Do you believe in letting people lie on your platform? What about advertisers? What if the advertiser is a political party?

Further, this feels like it's worth precisely nothing, given what he says right up top:

>I want to be clear that while we are looking at all of these areas, we may not come up with changes we want to make in all of them.

Zuck has shown himself unwilling to accept the responsibility of controlling his platform. He is failing every user and employee of Facebook.
