Honestly, the market will take care of it: who's comfortable hosting their content on the platform any more? They've alienated the right and the left. At the end of the day/century, FB is just a random internet site/app.

Okay, so if California's "free-wheeling culture" caused SV to be where it is, what factored into CA's cultural development? Why the lack of free-wheeling culture elsewhere?
