Linkendorf Stupid
Facebook censor deletes post w/photo of the ancient sculpture, the Willendorf Venus, as too racy for the site! (It's one of the oldest surviving art works in the world, on display at Vienna Nat Hist Museum ) https://t.co/vRX94CuxJB @ENBrown @reason

We love the kids at Reason, but it can be *both* an ancient artifact and pornographic. We don't have to choose.

There was other news today about Facebook's tone-deafness.
Zuckerberg, whatever his brilliance, has always struck me as ethically oblivious. See this from Wired a week or two ago for the big picture.
Of the GAFA "big four," Facebook's future seems most tenuous.

Facebook is not interested in removing "fake news." They are interested in removing ideas/facts that Zuckerberg doesn't agree with.

Oh noes I'm agreeing with Crid. It is a fertility goddess. Of course it is pornographic. That was the point. Fertility is about sex and procreation. It is also a very valuable piece of ancient art work. It can be both.

We used to have chickens and they loved to eat chicken.

Back-to-back over at Andreessen's.

Our President is indisputably stupid... Just in his presidency as in his personal life, he's an efficient machine for the destruction of value.

Will Facebook users tolerate this obvious fat-shaming?
