Like it happened when data on more than 50 million Facebook users was shared with Cambridge Analytica in 2014. Otherwise, their argument is: regulations are only good for the brick-and-mortar world, not the cyberworld.
Size seizes. Numbers count too. The fewer the players, the greater the dominance. Take the case of data computing. Its niche space is carved up by just four: Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Google. Cloud computing isn’t different either: Google, Amazon and Microsoft. And smartphone operating systems? Here a pair decide everything: it is Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android.
Imagine this. If the two billion Facebook users around the world — and that is how many there are — were to take up a complaint each, how long will it take the board to resolve them? Expect Facebook to limit what gets to the board. And perhaps even what the board wants done.
