"I freed a thousand slaves... I could have freed a thousand more, if only they knew they were slaves." - Harriet Tubman "Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." - George Orwell. Facebook hacked people's minds and put them under a spell so powerful that they are completely impervious to reason. To defeat Facebook you have to focus on freeing minds. It's not a technology problem. I has never been. Brgds,Patrick. Patrick A. M.

The issue here is that once you, for example, send a picture to a friend, that friend now has the picture. Even if you intended it to only go to that friend, you have no control over what s/he does with the picture. The same goes if you post a picture on Facebook, or Twitter, or even your own website. If someone downloads that image, you have no control over what they do with it. Even ephemeral apps or features, like Snapchat or Stories in Instagram or Facebook, even end to end encrypted Telegram or WhatsApp-all can be defeated by a recipient simply taking a screen shot of your image, without your knowledge, and you have no control, whatsoever, over that image. And neither does Facebook, or Twitter, or Telegram. That's what that phrase means. Does that make sense?

Alice Thanks. This is interesting. And a tidbit confusing even for me. The answer I believe is abit more complex. My sense:- 1. We must wean ourselves from senseless Social Media Consumption. This is a double-edged sword. It can be used for social good (The Arab Spring anyone? ) and evil (state-sponsored fake news etc) 2. Policy initiatives around Net Neutrality could be one policy tool. I don't believe for example that the Internet.org initiative by Facebook is good long term. We can, however, debate that. 3. More Activist Regulation like the one being championed by the European Union is something to consider. It's a shame really that 20 years+ on we don't have a Policy on Net Neutrality and how to deal with abuse of Market Dominance. One thing that gives me hope however is that we are discussing this. It is the beginning. It is never too late.
