Why Facebook is beyond our control

Recommended Posts

What’s the difference between Google and Facebook?


One difference is that last week Google agreed to pay Australian news outlets for their content in the face of a threat of government action to force it to.


Facebook did not, temporarily removing Australian news sources from its feeds, a decision it only reversed after winning a range of concessions.


Another is the reason why.


It’s that Google faces competition, whereas Facebook really doesn’t.

I would also add, Facebook's stated mission is: to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.


Whereas Google's stated mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.


Removing news from Facebook doesn't impact their mission that much at all. My two cents
