    Well, yes, but in a broader sense, they have way too much of a stake in the control of global communications altogether. Even just a hiccup on their servers or slight change to their system has a global impact, as obviously evidenced here. The world is dangerously reliant on a centralized private company for daily functioning.

    Such a powerful entity shouldn’t be controlled by private parties and needs to be governed in a way that the benefit of the people is kept paramount.

        Not really anything to do but draw attention to it… It’s not like we have an effective globally governing body to oversee something like this objectively.

          No, i meant what solution would you like to see here.

          Like just taking the business away from the company and have the government seize it?

          Because other than just building a new one that organically grows and becomes better, then I don’t see a solution.

          Maybe regulate the hell out of it, but that’s basically just seizing it and forcing them to do what you want.

          I do agree it is a precarious situation though
