This is about the existence of institutions of government
We learnt a long time ago that two sides who cannot trust each other must have a third party whom they can trust to behave in a particular (fair) way all the time.
That third party becomes a mechanism for government.
Facebook cannot be trusted because Facebook has no controlling mind. Just like HN here.
Institutions cannot be crowd sourced or socially generated.
They must be based on principles and be independent and incorruptible.
We give professors and judges lifetime contracts with no get out clauses - and we do it for a reason. When Facebook is public ally funded we will need it to have a controlling mind
