The FB Break-up discussion continues …

Chris Hughe’s essay in NY Times - <clip>The most problematic aspect of Facebook’s power is Mark’s unilateral control over speech.

Instagram and Whatsapp are positioning themselves to become WeChat-like, and Facebook’s crypto project <https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2019/05/08/facebook-has-lit-a-fire-under-bitcoin-and-crypto/#64b5038c329e> is gaining momentum. Interesting times ahead.  

Look forward to hearing from others on this.

Best, Sam.
