Facebook is a train-wreck

In a mere 10 years, it went from upstart new social-media tech star to overbearing, corrupt, biased, boring monopoly.

FB is the worst of everything: authoritarian corrupted capitalism mixed with socialism.

These types of companies are like mayflied: they live but not for long. Among the young (let's say people under 30) Facebook is considered an old-fogie zone. They won't be joining. And so within the next 10 years it will die with its current business model. They need to come up with something other than tricking people into donating all their private information to them and then using it against their interests because the young have no interest in playing along.

Facebook acts as if they are the only source worthy of news that they approve of.

Politicians and anyone else can go elsewhere to post what they want without the gestapo breathing down their necks.

In another 10 years, it will by MySpace, and about as relevant.
