A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Interesting take. You've certainly got me thinking about it a bit more.
I won't try to interpret the author's intent because that's for him to do and I don't want to speak on his behalf. But I do think he's right about the tone of the response to the error being wildly wrong. News orgs should be dispassionate and I don't get a sense that they were at all.
I think Meta fucks up. I think mass media is terrible at understanding what they're reporting about. I think conservatives in particular see boogie men everywhere. Anyway, I'd read Nick's piece earlier in the day and that had been my only exposure to the story, so I chose to link to it because to me it was a reasonable response.
