Two philosophies

One of Facebook’s core philosophies is that a user’s privacy is paramount. Part of that privacy is the data you create by browsing Facebook is never shown to other users. You’ll never see a newsfeed story that says, “Joe viewed your profile 1,024 times.” It’s that most basic…

“We have available to us the most open, dynamic and opportunity-creating technology ever devised, but its wings are clipped. Less and less are a thousand points of invention and innovation controlling out technology future, while more and more the models of consolidation and bottle-neck control are…. The struggle for an Open Internet is a new chapter in a very old story. It’s the story of gate-keepers and toll-collectors who have always been there when new technologies or businesses come along.” —

“A more open and connected world? You’d have to be some kind of cynic or misanthrope to object to such a laudable goal.

“if Michel is worried about anti-patent agitation from the software industry will “wreck the system” for other industries, that’s an argument in favor of creating a carve-out for the software industry. As long as software firms are vulnerable to patent trolling, they’ll be exerting pressure to weaken patent protections across the board. Freeing the software industry from the burdens of the patent system will make it easier to fine-tune the system for other industries where patent protection works better.” —Top judge: ditching software patents a “bad solution” | Ars Technica
