What right does Facebook have to exist at the scale it does?
2 comments

Let's say that Facebook was killed off by the government. Does that mean no more social networks?

The problems that were 'leaked' are public problems that any such company at scale deals with. They are problems that banning Facebook won't solve.

Facebook doesn't have rights. People have rights. Like the right to free association, such as to associate together and form a corporation, like Facebook.
