1. Profile quality (and honesty) varies wildly. Peacock and dishonest profiles dominate.

2. There is no Hobsons choice mechanism to force rotation among matches.

3. There are no incentives to respond or follow up.

4. Fake profiles benefit the platform but you have a bootstrap problem if you have no users. Plausible AI fakes will make this worse

5. There is no web of trust- if someone meets someone they could assert trust even at a low level. If I trust anyone in their web this would vet against fake profiles.

I could go on...

The ambiguous nature of the changes favor some shady self dealing. Sorry.

Sometimes you just can't do the seemingly obvious "right thing"

However, he needs these groups to some extent to roll back regulations. He can't be assured existing people will play ball.

So with hand picked cronies with no job security pushed to run the show over the ones with some job security he can push for deregulation.

If disasters happen along the way he can blame Brandon er Biden, etc and sell a heroic fix for profits.

This is, I think, just "stage 1"

He's going to fill these fired probationary workers with new loyal probationary workers hand picked by him.

He will then make these new probationary workers in charge of the agency.

If they don't do what he wants, they can be fired at will.

So, yeah. Let's worry about a dozen guys in Idaho.

It seems the Musks and Ghosns of management reject this hands off approach and achieve great results.

Flag away.

The comment police are stopping me from "doing what I want"?

Gosh.
