It's classic. Only one thing can destroy big company / country etc - inside job. In my point of view this is beginning of FB's end.

I pretty much disagree. how exactly would that work? more regulation? so people just click though more yep, it's creepy but I don't care buttons. charge them as a monopoly? when you have google and apple?

  People won't share their data / thoughts etc. No users / data = no ads. No ads, no cash. No cash means no FB. Btw Fb's losing users in big already.

  I just dont use FB anymore. I get FB messages, but I dont check my feed. Occasionally I get event invites, but I check that every few weeks or month. I dont want to act like I'm 'cutting edge', but was on gamefaqs when it was cool, FB in 2009, reddit in 2010. I dont use facebook anymore, we moved to snapchat and niche fourms.

    You said you don’t want to act like you’re cutting edge which is probably good, but the years you listed for Facebook and Reddit aren’t that early for those platforms.

      I was on reddit back when people were liberal on the website.

  > charge them as a monopoly? when you have google and apple? Yes. Shocking as it may seem, being a monopoly isn't a problem per se. It's using monopoly power to do naughty things. That plus antitrust law is aching for extension into aggregator-like systems. (It also helps that Facebook neatly partitions into Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp mandarin orange slices.)

I wish there was a social network built around the signal app. Maybe whoever builds the next FB will give it some thought.

  What’s the business model? Given network effects I don’t see how you have a non-ad supported social network but could be lack of creativity.
