The fire Zuck started won't stop at Facebook

You have to appreciate the irony in seeing tech's masters of the universe succumb to the same divisiveness and backbiting that their products have induced in their customers.

But the real takeaway here is the palpable sense that, for the first time in a generation, the parameters we've accepted with social media and smartphones are being decisively challenged. All the prior privacy scandals, screentime concerns, and security screw-ups may have chipped away at the industry's reputation, but they lacked the force to bring the industry to a tipping point. This feels different.

And the dramatic real-world events unfolding over the past few months have added to the sense of alarm. As former Facebook communications director Barry Schnitt: "We are in the midst of a global pandemic. Nearly 400,000 people are dead. Many more are likely to die and that risk is being made worse by content you host. Every. Single. Day."

He asks Facebook employees to consider what might happen in the event of a war. "Ask yourself where a concerted and systematic undermining of science and truth and rampant divisiveness ends if it is left unchecked?" "My clients are often middle-class Russian and Ukrainian boys with good knowledge of computer science. They have difficulty finding a job, so they prefer to break the law — knowingly or unknowingly.

— Arkady Bukh, a Soviet-born attorney based in New York who has built a practice defending criminal hackers from Russia and Eastern Europe.
