Redundancy Key for Digital Utility Platforms

Market “dominance” is often only frowned upon by parties that do not currently enjoy the said status. However this status carries with it inherent responsibility, especially so if a product or service has acquired utility status, with an enviable number of daily active consumers - http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/tech/redundancy-key-for-digital-utility-platfor… *Regards,* Mbugua Njihia ᐧ

Child marriage on facebook

Hi listers, Im following a debate on cnn about this south sudanese 'baby bride' who was auctioned on fb. It brings me back to this question, who should regulate facebook? Some argue fb is too big to regulate all the things that happen on their platform. Who should police fb? Is it us? We have power to shut down our pages if we dont agree with what goes on in their...but we don't. Why? Is it facebook? Do they care about being responsible especially in Africa? Is it government? And just how far can the government reach? Or should we just relax and face the beginning of the end by having an attitude of anything goes as long we have internet. Nice day everyone.
