It is sad. This is how I see it...

A platform is usually supplanted by something else. Big auto supplanted big horse drawn carriage. Jet engines pushed out propeller engines. Murdering EU Facebook with nothing is like ripping out grandma’s USA made hearing aids until & hoping a local starts a hearing aid company.

How Futurist of you. It's sad for the people who lose out in those transitions. I'm not saying we should hold back progress but we should be mindful of the impacts on society. With that said net impact in this case is probably less than zero.
