From the lead editorial in today’s Financial Times:
“Given his record of unveiling changes and then waiting to see whether enough people protest, it would be advisable for European and US data regulators to watch him closely.”
I don’t disagree that Zuckerberg needs to be watched but the FT is portraying Facebook’s strategy as analogous to Hitler, or any other dictator. This is probably not a value-maximizing strategy for Facebook. But, unlike citizens under a tyrannical regime, Facebook users can walk if they believe they’re being abused.
