This is how Zuckerberg's dream of connecting the entire population of the world comes to an end. Countries that don't want foreign influence (of both good and bad varieties) injected directly through their citizens eyeballs will ban social media first. Then a "nextdoor" style social media company will appear and allow individual countries to control how their social media is used. That or a Docker image with a Generic Social Media App can be bought and loaded onto a regional datacenter controlled by said country, because "cloud" will get a well justified bad label of being associated with foreign influence.
Does a multi-country-specific social media company already exist? In any case, the 2020's will be an interesting decade for this space.

- Jon_Lowtek 6y agoFacebook allows region specific control. Who do you believe does "content moderation" for groups talking in Swahili? Or Arabian? Or Chinese? To be honest i do not know, all i can tell is who does it in german and it is not south dakota. Sure many people in uganda speak english and can probably move discussions to other regions, but that would also be possible with more "regional social networks".
