Their “feed the other guy to the alligator” has never been shown to be a long-term winning strategy. The alligator will eventually get hungry again and eat them.

I think that’ll happen when someone comes up with a perpetual motion machine.
Yes. yes it will. Hence my tag-line.
And I might have to delete all three of mine :-P
Few things are as galling in battle as having your own weapons used against you!
Live by the sword, baby...

If a social network doesn’t get filled with garbage then it doesn’t generate any revenue.
If the social network is run scrupulously, and those who own and operate it refuse to sell data to anyone while also taking extreme data security measures, you could probably find a way to have a site that did not violate anyone's privacy (any more than they themselves do by posting personal information on a publicly accessible internet site).
However, if you are going to allow actual human beings to use there is no way you can prevent it from being filled with garbage.
“If I was one of those tech innovators, I’d be working feverishly on the next Facebook. There has to be someone who could come up with a successful way to provide a social network that doesn’t become filled with garbage, and doesn’t violate the privacy rights of the users.”
The problem isn’t that it’s filled with garbage. The fact that they violate privacy rights is a symptom of their real problem.
The problem is that they make SO MUCH money selling that data that their stock price / business model requires them to do it. At this point, the company stock price would crash if that revenue stream dried up.
“Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly losing support amongst his peers in Silicon Valley”
It’s “penis envy,” the little Capo has way, way more money than they do. They are all just jealous of his profound wealth, and hope to bring him off of the top of his money pile. I wish them good luck, Zuck the XXXX needs to be brought back to reality.
Remember Myspace?
me thinks you’re plagiarizing that prediction ;)
There's a lesson for other social media companies.
Take the side of freedom for all because when the going gets tough no one will side with you*.
*They will never learn this lesson.
Political jujitsu.
Using perpetual leftist rage against a leftist orientated country.
Nope, you are miles off.
FB has violated Anti Trust laws which are in place to protect the people and companies from monopoly controls.
Microsoft, Intel, Apple and Google all know the law.
FB, who controls at least 50% of the Ad $$$ knew it too.
They chose to ignore it.
Every year at Intel, every employee had to get mandatory training on the dangers of violating Anti Trust.
A small mistake could open the company to huge lawsuits and very possibly require a breakup of Intel.
Remember ATT?
Sad, but true.
Naw.....when I was young, I smoked for about 20 years, and not ONCE did Marlboro give out any of my personal information or private data.
Facebook needs to go the way of Toys ‘R’ Us.
