“Really? You don’t see why FB may post a decline in users, after all the pushback they’re getting? Why Twitter might enter a spiral soon? These just seem impossible to you?”
Not really sadly. I’ve been monitoring the App Store rankings through out all of the recent scandals. The only time the top 10 changed recently was due to March madness and that golf tournament thing. The main apps in the top 5 have remained social right through out.
Even in the social category, I didn’t see signal or any privacy related apps make it into the top
50.
I also bet that large portions of the public don’t even know Facebook own Instagram and it’s growing like crazy. Same with WhatsApp.
I can also see a scenario where any regulation that does occur, short of breaking up Facebook or google, benefits the incumbents. I don’t think they are gonna be broken up in the USA anyway due to the way anti trust law is written.
