    As much as I love clowning on Zuck it’s unreasonable to expect foreign companies to act as your nation’s means of emergency notifications.

      It’s unreasonable for a social media platform with almost 3 billion people to be privately owned.

        how is that unreasonable? build your own network get it to 3 billion people on it and then tell me what you think if the government take it from you. Or even better go and live in CUBA, CHINA, RUSSIA Or NORTH COREA that where that type of thought belongs.

            People with no skills, don’t build a social media such as Facebook, I don’t like the dude at all but I can’t fail to recognize his achievement. I dare you become a programmer and build your own idea may be you can capture that lightning you are talking about.

                I really don’t know that, but even then steeling an idea and taking it to where Facebook is right now is not easy feat to do, and again I don’t even like the dude but can’t deny his accomplishments.
