I was playing devils advocate here. Facebook has shown that they are not very trustworthy. But in theory it is easier to contain the data if it is only held in a single central location vs. distributed over many federated servers.
- rglullis 7y ago"Easier to contain" in this case does not mean "more likely to be safe". There is no incentive whatsoever for any large centralized body to not exploit the data. In any case, centralization is fragile. Even if there were some altruistic entity willing to run these services and not exploit it, it would still be a systemic risk.
