It's a dictatorship, but nonetheless, FB is not an actual country so the "move to another country" part isn't that hard to do. It becomes a problem when you don't agree with something of the country but everyone else does, so choosing to leave does alienate you from those who stayed. Basically, FB's killer product is the other users, not the actual features of FB (although they're necessary for the collective to not leave en-mass).
- jimkleiber 5y ago> Basically, FB's killer product is the other users not the actual features of FB (although they're necessary for the collective to not leave en-mass) I agree. I think one of the hardest things for most people when moving from one actual country to another is leaving behind the people and has been the hardest thing for me when I've decided to delete FB or stop visiting certain internet communities. While there are many definitions of a state, I just learned that Max Weber defines it as "a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory" [0]. This makes me think more about what a state would look like if it were a human community organized around a digital territory and what that means for the future (and present).
