Viewing profile — annihilate

Just destroy the company. Reduce it to nothing but smoldering rubble.

Take everything Facebook is, and burn it until it's unrecognizable. Flush the wreckage down the toilet.

Take all the data centers. All the bare metal. All the semiconductors, printed circuit board, cooling fans, wiring and fiber optics, toss it into the slag lagoon of some disused strip mine.

Take all the former employees and assign them to boondoggle re-education camps that they cannot leave until they acknowledge that the entire upper eschelon of the company was a zoo of useless quacks.

Zuckerberg himself should land in the cell previously reserved for Bradley/Chelsea Manning. His crimes are fundamentally equivalent, if you want to split hairs. The two only differ in scale and audience. Mutually exclusive counterparts of each other if you stop to think about it for a moment.

And then? What comes next?

I'm not sure. This is whole thing is a bad hangover we need to sleep off. What were things like before this nightmare? We need to gain some distance to acquire the proper context, and find our bearings before charting another course.

I remember what things were like before. What they were supposed to become, before this horrendously rude interruption.

But then millions of people dumped their lives out in the open, and it got used against us, and look where we are now.

Clearly, discretion is the better part of valor.
