Nice dream, but we already wished the genie out of the lamp.
- Barrin92 6y agothere's pretty straight forward measures that can be taken to dismantle Facebook's dominance. Enforce transparent APIs, everyone ought to be able to build client applications for Facebook. Doesn't diminish their backend, but it does at the very least bring competitors to the table that can create unique ways to consume Facebooks information, it'd be a good start for more diversity. Next one is to destroy the advertisement model. Create privacy standards so strong it breaks the way Facebook monetizes data. Seem like two fairly common sense steps that, even if they should not work, if anything have benefits for developers and consumers at worst.
