Analysis: A lack of rules built upon optimism about the internet and amplified by a growth-at-all costs strategy has given way to scrutiny and skepticism.
Aaron Bernstein / Reuters fileGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.It was just six years ago — in what now seems like an alternate reality — that David Poll sent an email to Facebook colleagues questioning why the company would limit outside access to the company’s user data.
Poll, a senior engineer, wrote that the move to close off data access was “sort of unethical.” Bryan Klimt, a software engineer, said the move would make Facebook “the next AOL,” referring to the once-dominant internet provider. In a separate exchange, CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote that a wide-open developer platform “may be good for the world, but it’s not good for us.
Poll and Klimt’s advocacy for the open sharing of data is counterintuitive in the current era, when regulators, journalists and privacy advocates are scrutinizing Silicon Valley like never before for abuse of data or breaches of trust.
