#2Terrible. The storming of the capitol was probably the most frightening single event in American history in recent times.
I just got off the phone with my friend who lives in China. He was in tears. He didn't understand how someone could have such disregard for the value of human life and democracy to walk inside the capitol building in DC. It's completely against the law.
For those in the dark, the event caused serious international ripples. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_reactions_to_the...

> disregard for the value of human life
While the deaths were sad, I don't think that's the main reason people are concerned.

#5Somebody from Facebook recently told me they developed the best system to flag radical/violent content in the world, I pointed out they first developed the best system to spread it.

Well they didn't develop the platform specifically for spreading radical/violent content. They build a generic platform for spreading thoughts among friends, and racist/violent people used the generic platform to spread their thoughts.

#9Facebook is intrinsically a passion-group generator. Where "passion" is the edges of "adoration" to "enmity".
Anything that "triggers" you (to interact w/ the platform), be it pottery or anarchy, FB will find "your people".
If you are prone to fits of passion, FB will find your passion-mates... mated to you by fear, anxiety, rage ... or joy.
