Facebook, Twitter and the rest of this basket of deplorables will meet their reconing in every nation. The problem is not that they've created a spyware empire that has swindled the common man - the problem is that they've swindled politicians and whole countries. In their greed, they cultivated bot armies that deploy propaganda for corporations and political parties on their platforms. They've swinged laws and elections. And they raked in the profits. If they had kept it just to business and domestic politics, maybe they could get away with this. But in their arrogance they crossed the line - when Taliban got a twitter account that regulatrly gets into spats with the CIA one, and when Russian state got millions of bots pushing propaganda (and many others) You have to be breathtakingly arrogant or insanely stupid to think that Putin and the CIA will be playthings of your newsfeed. The 'free-market of the brain' finally pissed off the only force in the West that's valued above Capitalism, and that's Nationalism / National security. Their business will survive, but they will get cut down to size and never be the players they once were. It won't happen overnight, but I would not hodl their stock.
