Google's Brin Criticizes Facebook And Walled Gardens
- Cherian_Abraham 15y agoSorta duplicitous to be against walled gardens, when ur lack of visibility in to them prevents you frm makin more money. Now, I am not saying that walled gardens aren't bad. But if you are against Facebook, then you should be against its rise as Web's new arbiter for identity management. Let's be more concerned about Facebook knowing what we do, even outside of its walled gardens.
- argumentum 15y agoFirst, Sergey is one of the coolest people alive today, maybe ever. That said I feel that Facebook/Apple have built their "walled gardens" through the free-market, and therefore are entitled to such. If people don't like it, they are free to leave. This is totally different than China, Saudi Arabia (or if SOPA had passed, the USA), where governments (basically at the point of a gun) decide who gets to see what. But I agree with him that IF walled gardens exist, then governments' are likely to try and control them, which is a problem.
