On the one hand, a lot of the technology used (in what I imagine a typical high level social network design would be) is readily available and well understood by actors in the job market (I think?). On the other, assuming there is a wide audience who would be interested in immediately using this product, I wonder if they'll be able to pull it off without being plagued by D(D)oS attacks, targeted hacks, etc etc.
Note: To be clear I'm just riffing on the technical challenges of this undertaking (making a new social network) and not trying to get into a political/ideological argument.
