Facebook and Google seem very powerful, but they live about a week from
total ruin all the time. They know the cost of leaving social networks
individually is high, but en masse, becomes next to nothing. Windows could
be replaced with something better written. The US government would fall to
a general revolt in a matter of days. It wouldn’t take a total defection or
a general revolt to change everything, because corporations and governments
would rather bend to demands than die. These entities do everything they
can get away with — but we’ve forgotten that we’re the ones that are
letting them get away with things.
