Roger McNamee on Facebook furthering authoritarianism

At some point we have to decide "Where do we want to live?" because the Facebook papers, among other things, have shown that Facebook in fact has - because of the design of its products - really furthered things like authoritarianism...  When you put 3 billion people on one network with no walls and then construct a business model that's designed to amplify the most extreme emotions of society, you're going to bring a lot of dangerous ideas from the fringes into the mainstream: white supremacy, anti-vax and the like.  And we're now seeing the cost of that.  And the question for investors is "Is it time to move on to something else?" because this company has shown that it is not going to take the public interest seriously.  And I think candidly that's a problem throughout Big Tech.
