Ask HN: Is This a Viable Meta-Killer?
Have you seen the movie "True Lies", starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger?
There's a scene where Arnold, who is being held hostage and interrogated under a Truth serum, tells his captors exactly how he plans to kill them in the next few seconds. He follows through.
In the same spirit, I am disclosing the following to Mark Zuckerberg:
1. Legally, after what he did to FB users data, and appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy, he is obligated to release a user's data to the user, if they so request.
2. I plan to create a migration path for users from FaceBook to the Fediverse. This migration path will be available at the click of a button.
3. I will take out ads, on FaceBook, to convince people to switch to the Fediverse, and offer them a one-click migration button. Pushing that button will take all your data and social network, and move it to the Fediverse, intact.
4. The Social Network is now free from the grasp of a corporation that arbitrarily censors Free Speech. Free from shady closed source algorithms that determine who sees what on the platform. Free from commercials for products that basically pollute the environment, from the factory to the landfill, for shallow consumerism. Free at last!
So I ask you — Am I missing something in this prison break plan?
