This is hilarious, no non-technical person gives a shit where their data lives. We can’t even get people to understand the cloud. The QA department at my work doesn’t even understand where my app ends and our vendor’s app begins, and that’s their job! My mother thinks any text box with a search button beside it is Google. Nobody outside of the tech ecosystem gives a crap about tracking (they already see ads all around them anyways). Nobody would even been aware of an alternative to Facebook, the same way people are barely aware Bing exists. Hell, people can barely get off their asses to vote and you think they’re going to care what the EU parliament does? The only way Facebook will go down is by a major outage. Grandma logs on one day and can’t chat to her grandson so she calls him up instead. Boyfriend opens messenger to chat to his girlfriend about their date tonight, but can’t because it’s down, so he texts her instead. Friends can’t upload pictures of their trip so they use email or google photos. It would take a sustained outage of a few days to break the habits Facebook has created in us. I don’t see any way for a competitor get past their moat, they have too many features and too many people on board.
