Here is the supposed 'corporate social responsibility puppet' facebook hired at a certain point, then immediately sidelined, and blocked from attending meetings, in her own words:


You dont have to like her demeanor, but her story is important.

So is the actual speech of the former Google design ethicist.:

This distinctly feels like a self help group, with the structural aim to found competing products using the VC (venture capital) infrastructure.

Which is bad (imho). Because those compartments of society already exist (social entrepreneurship) especially as pools for the people having fallen out of the system (which I dont have a problem with), but also as a 'responsibility proxy' for an unleashed market economy that people can point at that and say 'hey, we are doing something'.

So if this is handled at the process stage, where people feel the need to hug each other on stage, and create apps that tell people, how to find other people that want to tell them, that they love each other... This doesnt strike me as the solution...

But then, I'm a cynic.
