> it's hard to define at what scale a company should be subject to public scrutiny/control

FB is one of the largest companies on the planet with worldwide effects. There isn't another 10x for it to grow. If it's not subject to scrutiny/control at this scale, then it will never be subject to it.

> would like to see more testimony from users who believe that they have been personally harmed

Victims of genocide are notoriously unable to testify.



> If [Facebook]'s not subject to scrutiny/control at this scale, then it will never be subject to it Yes, exactly, cat's out of the bag. I generally don't think we should use federal democratic decision-making bodies to decide how a company should be run.

> Victims of genocide are notoriously unable to testify Noted, but I also do not believe that Facebook's policies either equate to genocide or indirectly result in increased genocide as understood in the most obvious/severe definition of the word 'genocide'.
