Don't be fooled by the "defunding police" move. There is more coming.

@anastasia2468 This is the video that got me banned for 7 days on FB but interestingly they really attacked this one as i was sent the FakeNews notification 7 times! 24 hours for each time perhaps.Â
@downliner  lol maybe, fb is a shower, after Tommy Robinson got deplatformed a lot of us joined MeWe as there's no censorship on there. It's not as well designed as fb though and I ended up not really using itÂ
@anastasia2468 that's the problem we have. People are committed to FB and most don't even know there are other places to chat and share but those who find it realize that because not enough people are using these platforms you yourself stop using it.Â
FB has to go or it has to be broken up.Â
@downliner I agree, but until a platform is as easy to use and as clear, it's going to be difficult. As you say a lot of people don't even realise there are alternatives and even when they do they don't use themÂ

The F.A.A.N.G. (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) companies as a whole need to be broken up, mate. While they're at it - Twitter. Save a whole generation of teens from suicide. Seriously. How the hell did the software development industry spawn Himmla's wet dream? Developers were so focussed on transparency, even playing fields, start-ups for all. The very democratisation of technology has instead delivered a Technocratic dystopia within a decade.   Â

It really does go beyond this, though. An excellent example is Wikileaks and the loss of its DNS some years back.
Another is removing credit card processing from companies.Â
While this kind of leverage can be exerted it's almost impossible for a platform to gain traction. It costs real $$$ to run a system that's a small fraction of the size of Facebook - let alone YouTube. When you consider that Amazon, Google, Apple and others control some of the most powerful resources (servers, server technology, virtualization, datacentres) needed for delivering content at speed - and reliably - even the $$$ needed limit your options.
Breaking them up - history has shown with IBM, Bell and the anti-trust in the 90's against Microsoft - not only resets industry sectors, but also stops atrophy.  Â
