Simple.

Remove him/her.

Under no circumstance would I allow anyone at my company to abuse their power, and abuse other people.

As long as you have very clear evidence of his/her gross miss conduct, then I would terminate your contract.

Of course publishers will still show adverts...but if your main source of revenue drops 50% overnight - that's going to be a huge problem for a number of content creators...which is what Facebook are warning against.

Most of FB's revenue is direct inventory sold - so this won't be too much of an impact on their owned and operated inventory - but as I say, it's publishers who rely on Facebook's targeting to generate high eCPMs to efficiently monetize their audience that will suffer most.

Bingo. Exactly what I thought.

> “That’s right, Facebook actually gave some of the money it made from running those ads through its system to the business that paid for those ads. Which doesn’t make any sense but shut up, Facebook is the good guy, ok? And Apple is wrong to be doing this.“

So it appears the author has no idea what a mobile advertising network is/does...

FB aren’t wrong to highlight that this will have a detrimental impact for many thousands of publishers who offer content for free, due to the fact they run an ad supported model.

Let’s see how it plays out...

Are any exchanges actually built on robust decentralised infrastructure yet?

Agreed, huge respect for Chris.

Having been at the helm of a (nowhere near as big) social->turned anti social network I can relate to elements of the complexity around running 4Chan.

Excited to see what's next.
