The weirdest idea floating around today is that an independent WhatsApp would not be capable of having its own outages.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1445135761997799430 …

I don't think the benefits of decentralization are nothing. "Texting" and "email" are never down because they're peering systems that don't have a SPOF. Same with the internet itself. Also, imagine if FB owned twitter and we weren't able to mass-communicate about the outage.

Well normally what we do when you have institutions that are big enough that failure causes real problems is we subject them to additional regulatory scrutiny. Thinking about things like banks and utilities.

Right, and things failing together causes additional problems that failing individually doesn’t, even if those individual failures are more frequent. If I have someone’s contact through FB and IG, if one’s out I can try the other. If both are out I’m SOL.

Do you really think if Instagram or Whatsapp were independent, profitable, decade+ old companies with 500M+ users, they would fail meaningfully more often than they do now? There's a point where you get a lot of correlation for trivial incremental stability.

Is this building up to "totalitarianism is great sometimes, with the right guy"?

So being too big to fail… is a good thing?

That's called fragility. That's not robust. That's static, rigid. That's... Monopoly.
