"Facebook has put impressive effort into
reforming itself around the margins. But considering the harm that
Facebook has caused — sharing user data with unauthorized third parties,
spreading propaganda that sets off ethnic violence, hosting attacks on
elections around the world — exterminating most of the pests is not good
enough. Stopping all of them is impossible. Facebook is too big to
govern and too big to fix. We might just have to accept that.
