      @zeynep @GrahamDPeterson @epopppp Point is not that “network effects” don’t matter, but that they aren't magic buzz word that ends argument

      @zeynep @GrahamDPeterson @epopppp Some people feel like they have to use Facebook b/c it’s required by groups is not a network externality

      @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson @epopppp Groups use it because that's where baseline internet users are, which forces everyone else in.

      @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson @epopppp Effects range from mundane college life to civics in large countries. NO viable alternative.

      @zeynep @GrahamDPeterson @epopppp No viable alternative to Facebook for repressive states? Not, maybe, Twitter?

      @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson @epopppp NOPE. Not Twitter. That's what I'm telling you. Works very differently.

      @zeynep @GrahamDPeterson “There are not two identical mirror Facebooks in competition” is not same statement as “there are no alternatives"

      @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson There is NO viable alternative to Facebook in many many crucial functions. Just isn't.

      @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson I really wish there were. It would be good. But millions of people for whom Facebook is 90+% of internet.

      @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson Which forces everyone else who wants to organize or do anything into the platform. Which then cycles.

          @zeynep @GrahamDPeterson Let’s cycle back a bit. What is NE model useful for? Tells you value of service, ability to protect from entry.

          @zeynep @GrahamDPeterson Second point—the lack of viable alternatives—is key issue here, not first.

          @asymmetricinfo @GrahamDPeterson And you think ability to protect from entry is not related to lack of viable alternatives?
