#2This is why massive companies like Meta and Alphabet needs to be nationalised. They simply have too much power over lives of billions.
This article is just another reminder of this. At scale that Meta operates, this algorithmically decided domain blockings mean nothing to them, but everything to hundred's of non-profits. There need to be legally mandated protections so things like this never happen again.

I don't think nationalisation is the answer, imagine the additional layer of bureaucracy dealing with a government entity. Large companies like Facebook need to be regulated by the government, there needs to be laws in place for stuff like this.

Don't nationalise them, break them up. A state monopoly is preferable to a private monopoly, but in this case there's no reason we have to have a monopoly. Facebook and Google do too many things.

Nationalisation wouldn't fix it.
There are plenty of rules and procedures in every nation which screw over random 'little guys'... For example, "oh, you have a disability and can't work? Here, have some state support. Oh - we just found you helped look after your neighbours children once. That counts as work. Therefore you lied to us. Thats fraud. All your state support will now be withdrawn."

I haven't seen much information on how the GDPR's Article 22 right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated means is going in these scenarios. I hear a lot about other provisions, but Article 22 seems like an important experiment.

Google? Definitely. Meta? Not really. All Meta has is two social networks and one messaging service. They haven't really experienced huge success in anything else. They MAY hit big in VR/AR space, but that's yet to be determined.

Communications platforms naturally become a monopoly. The biggest platform is the most useful one because you can talk to most people on it, so people prefer to join the biggest platform and it gets bigger.

Oh, for the days when you got banned from one website and you just went to a different website.

Just did a check to see their subsidiaries and they actually have way more than I expected :
