I said this in another thread about this piece so I’m gonna paste it here again. Sorry those of you who maybe saw it lol:

This is the same shit sites like YouTube use to get out of being accountable for anything they do. “We are too big. It is unreasonable to ask us to follow the law. So our benchmark of what a good faith attempt should suffice.”

Motherfucker then don’t be so big! If I’m a real estate developer and my building collapses killing 100 people, I can’t go “my empire is too big. It is unreasonable to expect me to follow all the various codes and ordinances designed to keep people safe.“

Unless you're friends with the right people.

I mean yes to some extent, but at the end of the day, tech moguls get a lot more latitude for ruinin lives than executives in a lot of other industries. How many stories have we read of fake nudes of children being spread around schools? AI getting people to commit suicide? Bigoted bots?

We’ve got Teslas literally running over people in the street and nothing fucking happens.

You're not wrong, this world is a messed up place.
