"If Facebook were a country..."
The fact that it has 900 billion people and no real source of revenue or trade would make its citizens among the poorest in the world. The massive infrastructure costs for its regime of information gathering are not offset by any kind of taxes. Further, the lack of any police force or military (aside from a few pushy lawyers) means that it has no way of protecting itself or ever hoping to recover the massive loss that went into building the fledgling nation. But the 2000 bureaucrats running the place are doing pretty well for themselves.
And yet still, I couldn't make this article interesting.
