Theres a scale difference. Many platforms are mini countries.

Hell - this article was about a tiny number of American citizens with the patience and resources to learn how to get this done.

If you are in Myanmar, PHP or many other countries, you are SoL. It’s the one thing that grinds my gears on these topics.

The more I see it, the more I think people are going to split these firms up.

Okay, but this is not the same as "outsourcing your customer service to taxpayers".

If it pleases you, feel free to ignore this sentence. Instead focus your attention to the first sentences of the response.

A plumber is not a firm the size of an economy, with bad customer support.

Neither of those things is "outsourcing customer support to taxpayers".

If you can't name how Facebook are outsourcing to the public purse, maybe stop thinking that they are.

You think I don't like the words? I disagree with the idea. Surely this isn't new.
