A pretty powerful closing statement IMHO.

#3Zuck is having to up his being a dick game...
Bezos is really bringing the fight to him as world's biggest douche.
What a fascinating battle. It's hard to pick a winner, right now they are neck and neck.

#4I'm sure what she's saying is only part of the evil that Facebook represents, but there's something fishy about the whole setup.
Why is she getting full media coverage and support, when previous whistleblowers were roundly ignored?
She's a very wealthy person (1B estimated), so perhaps she's fairly well insulated from any blowback?
But again, why is now the time to pile on Facebook, and why this person?
[edit] Hint: She's in fact calling for more censorship of the views she doesn't like.

The point the author is making is that the rebuttal has very little substance. The signal to noise ratio is low.

#7Facebook is staring to show some really bad cracks. I think they should start checking their PR a bit more because if they follow this path, they could have congress in their neck for some time.

As the article pointed out, they didn't defend themselves. They simply attempted to discredit the whistleblower, and change the subject.
Let them defend themselves without character assassination, please.

Facebook's "defense" is not a defense at all, but a misdirection.
While this article uses some pretty sensational language, it does accurately describe Facebook's response to Haugen's revelations.

#10Has anyone got the documents themselves, or only reporter's descriptions of the documents?
