    Facebook is huge and has very diverse teams/departments. It’s absolutely possible the guys who know what security is, and the guys who build app xyz are in different departments, countries, continents.

    The capitalists want us to believe otherwise, but large corporations are just as convoluted and inefficient as a planned economy.

      The difference is even this pittance of a fine wouldn’t happen in a planned economy - it would be like the planners fining themselves.

      What we’re seeing here is a result of the amoral “beastly” types concentrating power. What you’re suggesting is to intentionally concentrate that power from the start.

      Facebook is a great example of democracy - the billions of people using it have effectively (in their voluntary ignorance) voted for it to be like this. These are the same people who would vote for policies in a pure democracy.

      And you’re ignoring what happens in the SMB space, where people aren’t part of the corrupt circle.

      You’re welcome to start a small community anywhere in the US with a planned economy, as proof of concept.

      You could call it… A commune, to indicate its goals.
