[governance] Fighting Facebook, a Campaign for a People's Terms of Service

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

I simply say that making blanket statements about corporations being evil and selfish entities does not do much for multistakeholderism, and moreover is uncivil, in the sense of lacking civility (politeness).  

It is also not an ideal characteristic for civil society to have as it is not aligned to multistakeholderism, but rather to alienate specific stakeholder groups, so I suppose that metaphor fits to some extent.
