5b is laughable but the right wing hysteria about how these technocrats are allowed to mold society in their image is basically just them projecting their failed christian coalition agendas on people who at least have the common sense to profit from their fascism.
There are tons of federal data privacy guidelines? C’mon. You’re messing with me.

Zuck has the power conferred unto him by millions if not billions of simple common folk. Folks generally even dumber than federal enforcement.

Zuck is a monopoly with all the privileges that confers. He is a monopoly b/c the world decided he would be. Being a monopoly is not intrinsically evil. It was bestowed on him.

Privacy for clicks and you have decided that’s ok.

Zuck decides your news feed unilaterally, should he feel inclined that morning. Just an example.

That’s power.

He is operating at a level of size, complexity, sophistication and lack of competition that he effectively can do what he wishes.

This is neither here nor there but.... I will forever have the vision of Facebook employees camped out in Trump’s campaign office seared in my brain.

That’s power.
