Op-ed: Mark Zuckerberg’s manifesto is a political trainwreck | Ars Technica UK

Op-ed: Mark Zuckerberg’s manifesto is a political trainwreck | Ars Technica UK: "Zuckerberg adds that he's thinking of creating "worldwide voting system" for Facebook users which could then be used as a template for how "collective decision-making may work in other aspects of the global community." That's a vague formulation. But coming on the heels of his comments about politicians with Facebook engagement, he sounds like he's floating the idea of turning Facebook into the infrastructure for managing elections.

For anyone who watched the way Facebook fragmented U.S. citizens during the most recent election, this is a chilling thought. But it also makes sense as a way forward for the social media giant." 'via Blog this'
