Leaked memo from Facebook executive 2016: So we connect more people That can be bad if they make it negative. Maybe it costs a life by exposing someone to bullies. Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools. And still we connect people. The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is *de facto good. It is perhaps the only area where the metrics do tell the true story as far as we are concerned

The federation concept is dope. Big fan. But this emerging worldview that "all connection is good connection" regardless of implementation or even an ounce of thoughtfulness, is bizarre.
To me, it feels like VC growth-at-all-cost religion repackaged. Big Boz memo vibes. It's giving "your safety is a sacrifice I'm willing to make"
Where's this weird urgency coming from? What deadline are we trying to meet that demands such thoughtless action, and subsequent unabashed defending?
