Between the increasing amount of ads to join FB and this plans, I think it's the Swan Song for FB. Time to reach MySpace and our friend Tom Anderson, what a nice chap.

I hope so. I hope also that Zuckerman joins the homeless under some bridge, but that's probably too much to hope for...

Even should he fall, he has a very tall and very soft mattres. He will hardly become homeless if he plays his cards right, as Tom Anderson did.
I care not about his personal wealth - I just hope for cancerbook, its entire business model and the general Big Tech manipulation of information to die and stay dead.

Times are changing, current trend is to have no longer social media but stages: T*kT*k, Instakilo, OnlyFools, Youtube (the only one I don't warp because it hosts tons of useful content), Twatch and so on.
Twatter is basically dead, Fakebook is dying, Tumblr is dead. The alternatives have no appeal because there is no longer a wish for that kind of service. Reddit goes on but it's different, as it is much more akin to the old ForumFree, which was an easy to set forum, which was the successor of bulletin boards: Internet was born to exchange ideas, informations and opinions after all.

It assimilated Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus and some other small fry. The objective, or at least the direction, is monopoly and total control.

But what do you mean by total control?

I wonder if "Mordor" is already taken? "Jigoku" might also work.

One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume.
I'd say it fits pretty well ...
