IMO, they need a non-profit competitor. There's nothing surprising or innovative left in "share photos and news with selected people" so there's not much value-to-consumers left to innovate on. There is innovation left in how to monetize consumers, but there's not likely to be much value to humanity in that; and there is likely to be a lot of harm. (Looking at you anti-vaxers.)
Non profit. There's needs to be a non-profit facebook alternative to stop all this idiocy.

- angott 8y agoNot having a for-profit rationale would cut down on most, if not all, attempts to sell personal information, because funding could come in different ways (donations, for instance). Some non-profits have a terrible track record with information security, but that's mostly because their major focus is not IT.
