It seems like it's time to mandate interoperability. It's clear that this space has remained unregulated a little longer than it should and now that we know the consequences, government can step in and provide a set a guard rails.
- SpicyLemonZest 8y agoIt seems like Facebook has correctly determined that people (and regulators) don't want interoperability. Isn't that the major lesson of the Cambridge Analytica scandal - that Facebook shouldn't allow random unvetted third parties to even ask you for your Facebook data?

There's a problem with this argument. Where it is is an exercise for the reader.
