couple random thoughts:
1. if the left / poor / mad at the rich really wanted to fire a warning shot (which brexit / trump already have done on the right), a mass deletion of facebook at once would be a good start. it wouldn't even have to be a permanent delete - if millions of active accounts left one night, the stock the next morning would crash. the vulnerability of the company would be exposed, allowing for consumer empowerment regarding privacy issues.
2. social media is the new fast food. facebook is mcdonalds and the rest sort it out, but it really is. it's complete junk whose main customers are just short of addicted. it provides no value, temporary and empty highs, and makes you feel like shit after using it.
in the future, "big brother" will be associated with "factory farming" (some will care, some will not); but it will provide for the same infrastructure of capitalism, where regional and local social media groups will form (using "local coders") with degrees of privacy being considered the way degrees of health are now in the quick-eats biz.
- also "billions served" on mcdonalds sign="hundreds of millions of users" for FBcolin_s
- Why delete? Social media are actively supporting communism and banning alternate points if view.Hayoth
- Seems like a good partner for the totalitarian left.Hayoth
- social media provides no value? it's taken down dictatorial regimes for crying out loud.hotroddy
- social media is a decentralized way of getting information out to the masses.hotroddy
- @hotroddy it's something that could be done in many different ways - what i see now is not an ideal, though instant communication yes, is goodcolin_s
- You do realize Facebook has billions of users right? Not hundreds of millions.noRGB
