If Facebook becomes too thoroughly ingrained in everything then it would be rather difficult for a new competitor to step up. People are too willing to sacrifice privacy in the name of convenience.
- ilikehurdles 8y agoI feel like facebook is getting less, not more ingrained in everything. Not being on facebook has only gotten easier for me, and young people don't seem keen on signing up for the service anymore.
- DonaldPShimoda 8y agoThat's a fair point. I pulled myself out of it last year (only check occasionally for updates on events my friends are planning), so I don't see its influence as much anymore... for which I am grateful haha. Instagram seems to be the hot new thing for the younger generation, from what I understand, but Instagram is owned by Facebook. So while Facebook itself may not be keeping up, the company as a whole (and its methodologies regarding privacy) will likely remain relevant for a while yet.
- gowld 8y agoyoung people prefer... Instagram (bought by Facebook) or whatever hot new startup (soon to be bought by Facebook)
