this may be the dumbest most fud filled article I have ever read. I mean it's just a bunch of words that mean what exactly? what exactly does the author think those companies are doing that is evil ? I can't figure it out. Driverless cars are not a worthy goal? don't buy one once it's for sale.

sure, you can downvote, but those downvoting can you explain to me in a nutshell what is the specific point made by this article ?

The articles makes points throughout, but one I found interesting was in the first paragraph. Zuckerberg acknowledging professional failings, suggesting FB does not consider itself to be perfect.

For example, a recent Facebook privacy failure (also, a separate failure for FB PR department): https://gizmodo.com/how-facebook-outs-sex-workers-1818861596

Some find it worrisome that these systems don't work quite like users expect, and believe there is risk we're not accounting for.
