Apologies, hit reply too soon.

Think about that biz model, 2 billion users, at even $1 a month. Or whatever the users are.

Someone RT this on my twatter feed

" At this point, Lanier said, we shouldn't call companies like Facebook social networks. "Call them behavior modification empires."

Even if there was no terms of service or whatever they call it? Or one that specifically says they can't?

I agree, I'm thinking of a different alternative with a different business model that makes them a ton of $$ without selling our stuff.

I know I owe a debt to my ancestors, they served in many wars and are traced back to coming here before we were the United States of America.

agree, I'm not a techie at all. Just thinking biz models that protects us and makes them legit $$.

I just want the true American Dream followed, not the manipulated one. Offer a product at a reasonable and fair price that people want and legitimately make a profit that corresponds to that.

POTUS.

Do you honestly think some people aren't happy with the fruits of their labor, even when large? Maybe I'm wrong but I still have faith in humanity that some people will do it right WITHOUT exploiting others.
