So what? Like I said, it’s literally zero hassle to create new instances. What makes you think you’re entitled to mix all your users into one database anyway. If you’ve a hundred users in one country it’s worth your while having an instance just for them.

Lawyers will oversubscribe for everything it is up to you to familiarise yourself with the legal aspects and get your engineers to design within these constraints. You didn’t think engineering was just programming did you?

And you still fail to see how all of this make this much more easier to apply for Facebook than any startup?

What? No. We are on the web, you forgot that what made Facebook a billion dollar industry was that they could get pennies out of billions of users every month?

If you can get hundred of paying users, sure, but then to me that has nothing to do with the web, that's simply selling a product. The web is more than selling, it's about allowing access, which sadly, is more than selling.
