So on one hand Facebook is a monopoly and something needs to be done about it.
And on the other hand, the only real competitor is Chinese so it needs to be banned.
I know my reasoning is not well thought out, but I just find it funny.
- cblconfederate 6y agoIt's funny because it's true. I mean the only substantial competitors to facebook are VK, telegram and a bunch of chinese companies, all of which would be considered "security threats"
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoThey want more domestic competition obviously, not foreign.
- namelosw 6y agoIt's a winner-takes-it-all industry. Sometimes I have the weird realization that it's the same way if there was no GFW or regulations in China, there would be no Chinese competitors now because those tech giants in China would have been killed by the US counterparts years ago. So domestic competition is not likely to happen anytime soon.
