Yet another reason to not over-rely on a few big tech companies for the majority of the planet's communication. Forget concerns about competition, monopolies and so on for now (as important as they are), what we want are many social networks, video conferencing apps, messenger apps. Every country should strive to build their own Google or FB, or certainly many more should. State-backed if needed. It's a question of resilience and security as much as anything.
