The problem with Facebook specifically, is that it’s anti-web. It breaks linking. It breaks searching. It’s impossible to archive. And it penalizes you for linking outside content, as opposed to authoring that content directly inside Facebook. In Facebook’s ideal world, there would be no Internet. There would only be Facebook. You wouldn’t have a home page, you’d have a Facebook Page. You wouldn’t have a blog, you’d have a Newsfeed. You wouldn’t link to things, you’d Like them. I oppose Facebook because I think there’s something inherently dangerous about even wanting that much power, much less making moves to actually acquire it.
