Well, it works for FB 😁 This happens every few years. Some industry segment doesn't like the evolution of the web, and after years of not participating all of a sudden they find themselves to be stalwarts of web governance. It's like cicadas, it eventually passes.

It's always the same script. They don't do their homework but they know everything about how it all should run, any difference with their world is a problem, and they always talk about how they do this for the users and because they understand business and others don't.

It's very tedious, but you can't argue with motivated reasoning, you have to let them make all the same mistakes and get in the way of fixing the actual governance problems that are there.
