Kookoo: You're conflating issues. A tax on Facebook has nothing to do with privacy.

Not conflating. I was comparing it to the current law which, arguably, is a form of tax on Facebook's revenue. Yes, privacy is separate issue.

Kookoo: No it doesn't. For lack of a better analogy, it's like comparing poorly implemented IP filtering to DPI. Preventing several well-established sites from being linked to on Facebook is much easier to implement than 'content moderation'. And they've made a mess of it too, which just shows that even something supposedly simple is actually pretty hard to roll out.

What we did learn this week is that Facebook's algorithms are intelligent enough to identify a cat photo and allow it override an automated block, but apparently not able to identify an automatic weapon killing people and block it. So I stand by my comments.
