If you were in control of Facebook you could do a whole lot more than attack one person's image.
This is one area where we definitely need some regulation. And I think people who have complained about Google account bans in the past would agree. These companies are getting too powerful and connected to too many things and services to simply be allowed to remove someone's access on a whim, without a strong justification for it and without also being able to appeal the move to authorities, if needed.
Ideally, this wouldn't be needed if the internet was more decentralized and these companies didn't try to be everywhere and own everything. But since they love that monopoly power so much, then the regulation is required.
This. This whole scandal is basically a fake story invented by the media as revenge.
FB has clearly done some things to get where they are that many would find challenging, but in the end if Facebook has an achilles heel then it can only be Facebook itself.
