Especially with software that automates things, as shown above. These were autopilot failures.

Silicon Valley's golden rule: "Never ask permission, only forgiveness."

Facebook's motto: "Move Fast and Break Things"

notorious for conducting psychological tests on users, without asking permission, or even notifying them,
notorious for Cambridge Analytica

Musk for alleged extreme labor conditions, sexual harassment (being investigated), ignoring CA covid rules, alleged S,E,C, violations by tweeting about his planned purchase, his non-purchase, and his purchase, and so on.

I worked for some psychopaths in the"valley" but these people ( i.e. Musk, Zuckerberg ) are completely reckless, and totally unconcerned about consequences of their decisions and actions.

Both sides of the aisle seem intent upon modifying Section 230, which will affect all social media companies. Stay Tuned.
