For the worst haircut of a CEO? more like anti trust .
Never used facebook so I guess I miss out on what my friends from 40 years ago had for lunch.
The real problem is that, since nothing ever goes away on the Internet, it will soon be possible for your friends to brag on FB about what they had for lunch forty years ago.
No, you still won’t be missing anything; no, they still won’t understand why you don’t have a FB account.
–G!
It’s not about Facebook the website, but the other companies it took over.
and now Google is being sued by a bunch of states
If only 40 states combined had the same kind of resources Facebook and Google do to combat these charges.
I can guarantee you it’s nothing about the money and/or the political ambitions of some Attorneys General.
They’re just fighting for you, the little guy.
Part of the issue here is that social media platforms have a natural barrier to entry: The value of a social media platform depends on how many other people are using it, so even without any untoward conduct by an established player, it’s very difficult for a newcomer to the market to compete. Heck, even Google wasn’t able to compete directly against Facebook, as witnessed by the attempt of Google+.
How should the law address markets where there’s such a natural barrier to entry? That’s a much tougher question.
