Facebook is a factory farm for human beings. It is not your friend, it is not fundamentally good, it is an extractive and exploitative machine. Let’s stop expecting it to be what it is not and regulate it to limit its abuses. PS. Google, etc., have the exact same business model.
Ah, cool, if it’s not about funds we’re being very wasteful: let’s cut all VC investment in startups (ie., all investment in surveillance capitalism). I’m sure Silicon Valley wouldn’t mind doing without and still “innovate” brilliantly. I wouldn’t have a problem with that ;)

You were talking about the few big players. Which social network reaches the top next is indeed not decided by VC.

No, but the business model of the social network that reaches the top next is.

My point was that the chances of the publicly funded network are as small as the chances of all the other startups who are trying to become a top network. That is why I don‘t see public funding as a solution.
