      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 …

      If Facebook’s monopolistic behavior was checked back when it should’ve been (perhaps around the time it started acquiring competitors like Instagram), the continents of people who depend on WhatsApp & IG for either communication or commerce would be fine right now. Break them up.

      To make the antimonopoly argument fairly, you would have to factor in how many times WhatsApp avoided downtime because it had Facebook resources behind it. Maybe that number is zero, maybe it's a lot.

      Maybe half of humanity relying on a messenger app is a bigger monopoly issue than who bought that app.

      Pinboard Retweeted Krystal Ball

      Another example of this error in thinking. Centralization leads to things failing together, but it also means the resources to run things more reliably. One reason today's failure made news is that it's really rare.https://twitter.com/krystalball/status/1445140435807186954 …

      I see this whole system of allowing giant social media monopolies to control multiple critical modes of communication is working out well.

          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"? 😂

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