as laid bare by above text, you’ve not even scratched the surface of the people or movements you write about. before all, these are about all but corporate “its master’s voices”.
no mate, you and likes of you may love to reduce web down to FB and a bunch of others. that only goes to show how many light years away you are from the things happening. thankfully.

just so that you know, there are enough many people who’ve spent so many more hours than you spent for above crap to find answers to questions that you so dutifully refer to FB.

go keep sipping your fancy hot drink in front of your mac, and keep away from things that are not your business.

I have a suspicion that an ethical alternative to FB will emerge with its own ethical marketplace and possibly its own ethical currency that complements rather than replaces money.

People are after purpose and contributing to the common good is a means to create shared value. Personal data is the new oil, but would you trust FB with your data if an ethical alternative were available to pay you for your contribution in a currency that could be traded on its own ethical marketplace.

Someone, somewhere is plotting to usurp the FB. I am certain of that. Whether or not they will succeed, we can only WAIT and HOPE!
