Post-modern privacy models include those developed by University of Chicago law professor Richard Hasen, who argued the Obama administration could regulate Facebook under the guise of protecting privacy. (He was later fired from his posts.) Other authors have argued that allowing Facebook users to choose what information they share online would weaken privacy, and that if Facebook were able to take over the content management systems of websites and allow people to censor content, that was something the First Amendment should prohibit.

It’s really good.

This is pretty good perhaps even for auto-generated absurdities:

Seed with: "Why does my dog speak poor English?"

> It's possible your dog has a rare genetic condition called dyslexia, which puts him or her at risk for learning difficulties. If the problem has progressed beyond a certain point—say, if your dog has been in the hospital for over a year—and when you go to bring him out of the hospital—not for exercise or exercise training—he may not speak English in the proper way. Your veterinarian will work on the problem while you are in the hospital.

What should I do with a dog with dyslexia?

It's important to be vigilant and familiar with what is going on with your dog in hospital. If you find that your dog may be learning, take him home and have him trained as soon as possible. It may take a while for your dog to learn to associate the letters of English with words.

I might have to use this to reply to unclear tasks from now on, great find.

There are times when we need to ask ourselves, are our interests really served by having this ability, when so many of us are now doing so much online anyway?

probably safe to say that the idea of a user on a platform like Facebook trying to obfuscate their history on the platform... is a short jog from an individual trying to avoid government backed hacking on them.

Facebook has many years of pretty smart work, and probably safe to say tens of millions of dollars just in meetings about specifically this (re costs associated with effort of user data retention).

What will be the consequences though? I'm sure they can easily discover that the user is trying to overwrite his history, batch edits are easy to spot - but what will they do about it? Ban him & delete his data? Stop him from editing his own posts? Just throw away all changes that don't pass the smell test?

I would speculate that they have built systems in a way that it would not matter what any user does. any edits to a already existing post probably just append
