As much as I sympathize with the message I don't like the way it was brought. I cannot help but feel that this "indignation journalism" hurts more than does good. Everybody knows the UN is imperfect, and yet the people that win from its disenfranchisement are tyrants, billionaires and certainly not you or me. In fact even the tyrants need a UN because you need to cooperate somehow. We need to improve and strengthen international institutions, not discredit them. The article could have been written with that in mind | ||

You are assuming that the author (me) hasn't tried to help the UN do it right in the past and that assumption would be wrong. They don't get to shout at big tech when they are doing exactly the same thing and using the same vendors they are berating, to do it for them. It is rank hypocrisy. Also, I was very clear in the introduction that I support the UN and their mission, which is precisely why they need to be held to account because their own Charter requires it. | ||
