Antitrust discovery will be juicy. It’s going to make the Microsoft witch-hunt look tame in comparison.

  If there's on thing these companies do well it's limit discovery and keep it confidential.

    Not when it’s the entire world against them. Public opinion is overwhelming now but it will only get worse with time. I personally don’t think it’s all on Zuckerberg but the politics will make it so.

  Part of me is glad that the public and governments are finally catching up to what FB has been doing for years now, but I'm worried that we don't have a better platform/solution that fills in the void without the risk of these privacy violations happening again. Some of the decentralized networks are interesting and seem like a good way forward, but they're still far away from being adopted by non-technical users and masses at large. This seems like it's not only a technical and UI/UX problem, but one of marketing as well. The advertising-based revenue model has certainly become hostile towards user privacy, and we should rethink that too. Whatever comes after FB, I hope it addresses all of these issues, for the sake of all of us.
