surprised they went against house style (In Romania, Court Rejects Man's Claim That He's Alive)
They currently have about $40b-$50b in revenue I think, so in order to spend similar amounts of money they would have to charge quite a substantial amount to replace that with mostly subscription fees, particularly given that a huge chunk of the userbase doesn't live in rich Western countries where doing that sort of thing is both logistically and financially straightforward.As an exercise, how big of a monthly/annual fee would Facebook have to charge individual users to maintain its current and future valuation goals? In return of not selling their data and maybe even ceasing all ads and sponsored content etc.
I don't see a political angle here, but Zuck's no-holds-barred approach to growing Facebook left a trail of enemies in influential places.Pretty sure this has something to do with putting Zuck in his place by political Elders too.
I really don't think so. This is definitely at least partly engineered. By whom and why is debatable.I don't see a political angle here, but Zuck's no-holds-barred approach to growing Facebook left a trail of enemies in influential places.
Also, let's not overanalyse it: people have a gut reaction against him. Incredibly punchable face.
There is definitely a story here. Not saying otherwise. But the firestorm of the past few days, in some quarters against Zuck personally, has more to it than meets the eye.It traces back to the Guardian running a story on the CA whistleblower, which is 100% standard Guardian. Might as well say a turd that a bear dropped in the woods was at least partly engineered by politicians.
There’s precedent for this, so it’s hard to disagreeIt's because it's claimed to have helped the Trump campaign.
Imagine if counter factual occurred, that they had used the data to 'engineer a Hillary win' the media wouldn't care and Zuck would be a 'hero'
