Why can't it be both?
Serious question.
- jacquesm 9y agoNot only can it be both it should be both (or more correctly: all).
- notacoward 9y agoResources, including most relevantly attention, are finite. That's why the attention is only on Facebook now, when it should already be on these others as well. Much as I'd love for people to see all of the picture at once when they're trying to make policy, I don't think that's what really happens.
- phonebucket 9y ago"Why can't it be both?" In fairness to the OP, the notion of someone being next is coming from the headline, not the comment.
- schnevets 9y agoBecause a "loss" can disrupt the momentum and public support that is snowballing with these Facebook headlines. Think about the failed attempt to break up Microsoft in the 90s. Regardless of how you felt about the breakup idea, Congress was spurned at that decision and avoided taking action on other emerging monopolies.
