   I submit that this phrase by @pluralistic should be above the fold in Mark Zuckerberg's epitaph:

   "Facebook is a company that was founded to nonconsensually rate the fuckability of Harvard undergrads, and it only got worse after that."

     As someone who used to work in patents, I liked this one:
     "'IP' is just a euphemism for 'a law that lets me reach beyond the walls of my company and control the conduct of my critics, competitors and customers.' And 'app' is just a euphemism for 'a web-page wrapped enough IP to make it a felony to mod it to protect the labor, consumer and privacy rights of its user.'"
