It's really very simple.
Facebook was able to become a huge success because it could compete freely on the open web.
Now that Facebook has become so powerful, it is trying to destroy the open web so no one can compete with it.
Speaking of which, what wonder what its position is on net neutrality.
- camillomiller 9y agoFacebook has become successful because for the first time in history it materialized the ungraspable matter that is the concept of relationship. It's like a magic device that shows the invisible treads that link the individuals in their own monadic lives. It's like a fucking superior level of intercommunication. And it's scary, and too powerful, and way over the point of no return. Plus, I don't think it's making the world a better place in any meaningful way.
