“I think Facebook took quite a big risk here. Most basically, their decision to cut off news in Australia is a demonstration of their raw technical power and their willingness to use it for their own ends. It reminds me of Mr. Burns’ decision to block out the sun in the Simpsons movie – it stokes fear but also encourages resistance.”
