- headsoup 8y agoThe assumption there being that Facebook continues to be economically viable...
- HelloNurse 8y agoFacebook disruption will be Facebook "spontaneously" ceasing operations, without replacement. I bet on a quick shutdown, possibly with extradition shenanigans, offshore funds and other drama, after a criminal investigation or a whistleblower shines a light on potential liabilities.

- PeterisP 8y agoIf disruption of Facebook is economically viable because the new whatever-book is doing the same things to user privacy, then that's not useful anyway. It's not that important who is the largest provider, as long as the incentives are the way they are now, the largest provider will be doing harmful things. We need to establish appropriate incentives and boundaries (of which GDPR isn't perfect but certainly in the right direction) so that no matter if it's Facebook or someone else, their behavior is one that we can live with.
