This post by Euan Semple, which is an expression of moral relativism, feels both elementally true to me - but also a dangerous way to think about one of the things he mentions: Facebook.
It feels, at some level, that it lets the people in charge off the hook. Thoughts?
@petebrown @adders Generally speaking, for all of the bad things done as a result of shaping the web in similar ways to the corporate side of our world, at the very least it has made an awful lot of people at least think about even our concept of "the world". And that is something.
As part of my own efforts to not make a novella in a comment box, I turned my accidental lengthy reply into its own thing.
