Comment Policy change is not enough after causing damage (Score 1) 127

When you have a billion dollars, you have no excuse for not understanding the harm you product can cause. If your product is a car, you're on the hook for failed airbags, or whatever negligent harm your product causes. In the case of THIS SITE, that harm is towards civil society and democracy itself.

How do you measure that level of damage and liability? And what is the adequate response to what is either epic negligence, or a shadowy sell-out? In either case damage has been done and someone owes us a lot more than a privacy policy change.

Every time I see an article mentioning "software programs" I cringe. I guess they're different from "hardware programs" or "exercise programs" or you can just call it "software" like everyone else. It reads like someone still uses a typewriter and not one of these fancy new computers using "word processing software programs". *sigh*
