Why Mark Zuckerberg's 14-Year Apology Tour Hasn't Fixed Facebook →

As far as I can tell, not once in his apology tour was Zuckerberg asked what on earth he means when he refers to Facebook's 2 billion-plus users as "a community" or "the Facebook community." A community is a set of people with reciprocal rights, powers, and responsibilities.

Exactly. It's the same reason I don't love startups who insist they're a family - I don't have the ability to leave my family and I wasn't born into your company. It's a false equivalence. The same is true of calling a mass-market surveillance platform a "community".

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
