Holding Power

Facebook appeard to have done something wrong. Perhaps we should be worrying about what they are doing with our data. Maybe we should all revisit what privacy actually means. But the truth is, it will take more than that for Facebook to be stopped by many. It is so much easier to stay. So many have built their lives curated on Facebook, that it has become so compelling to continue.

That is the danger we have to be wary of. Being tied to one company without much transferable skills. Truth is few wants to start again building up networks and reputation decided by a company unless they have already found personal reasons to do so. Facebook really has controlled a lot of our life, it is just up to us to accept it or be strong enough to do the same thing somewhere else.
