I agree these are hard problems to solve, and don't fault facebook for not having come up with a solution. I still think the "morally bankrupt liars" label isn't too far off the mark though. All of the negative stories that have emerged this past year, their denials and ham-handed cover ups, and perhaps finally the fact that they are actually asking some people to give them passwords for 3rd party services... I can't regard them as a thoughtful, ethically-minded company.

You are correct, but this is one of the few cases where it's unjustified. We have moved to online discourse more and more. Do we really want super powerful AI and armies of moderators combing through all of that?

Indeed, Facebook has probably been in violation of existing New Zealand privacy laws since it started, but there hasn’t been a peep out of the Privacy Commissioner, or anyone else in Government.
