Ian, I love your response to calls for privacy from Zuckerberg and Pichai. For me this feels like both a distraction and a way of avoiding liability. It is interesting to this about this while reading Ruined by Design:

Cooperation and regret is noted, but it doesn’t excuse the conduct. At some point in their lives, the people who helped Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and Travis Kalanick execute their schemes may regret what they’ve done, they may even cooperate in undoing it. But, like the judge said—it won’t excuse the conduct.
