'Member when people were saying this a decade ago and everyone was like "but they're not actually working with government, so we can't do anything 🤷♂️" and then we found out they actually were.
Fun times.

  Facebook deliberately choose to get this big even though they objectively can’t deal with the scale they’re operating at. They never once stopped and asked if the scale they’re operating at is a problem in itself. Therefore it’s Facebook’s fault when they do stuff like block websites of independent journalists or articles critical of Facebook or “limit political content”; regardless of whether it’s socially, technically or physically possible or not to moderate properly at their scale.

  Hot take: Big Tech was just Govt's buying time until they could get the rest of the surveillance grid up and running. The reason people find self-hosting difficult is that we've had essentially a 10 year dark age imposed by low interest rates and "free" online services.
