This is just a trashy rant who scrapes everything together to demonize the big valley companies. There is no coherent message, he throws "monopolist" around like republicans "socialist". Not even starting with questionable facts like DOS being based on CP/M.
The most laughable quote: "Facebook builds nothing, manufactures nothing, creates nothing."
This guy wants Amazon and Google to be nationalized on another article, sure that will solve all these problems.
I feel bad giving this guy views.
- gradschool 12y agoCan you elaborate on why the quote about Facebook is laughable?
- Jukelox 12y agoFacebook's product is you. Your data, habits, communications. Twitter is a simpler model. It costs $360k/yr[1] to get access to only 50% of all tweets. Combined with advertising they finally turned their first profit in Q4 2013[2]. Imagine the value of the more intimate data facebook has about you.
