the function of journalism is to speak truth to power. Very few things in the modern world are as unregulated, powerful and a walking privacy disaster as big tech companies, so I'd encourage the NYT to quadruple their output until we've reigned them in.

What's more concerning than the NYT fulfilling its primary function is the occasional apologia in the HN comments, by people who (if we want to talk about bias), probably have a stake in perpetuating the state of affairs.
