I'm not picking on you, but how exactly are they hanging themselves? Twitter and Facebook are two of the richest and most influential companies on the planet, and Dorsey and Zuckerberg are disgustingly wealthy personally. This kind of news about Facebook deploying "measures" to influence political unrest is actually quite frightening and I read it as more of an arrogant flexing of their power, secure in the knowledge that the government has nobody in it that will hold them accountable for the incalculable societal damage they've caused.
This borders on doomerism, but I am genuinely concerned about the amount of power these companies have. Between Google, Twitter, and Facebook, they've created the most immense and pervasive psychological warfare and spying apparatus in history. I realize the DOJ has recently made noises about busting up Google, but it seems to me that we've moved past the point where antitrust measures will be adequate to address the problem and into the realm of "literally declare them enemy nations and go to war." It will be interesting to see if a second term Trump (assuming he wins) will even be able to make a dent in their metastasizing growth.
