<div dir="auto">Liz, Ali and Barrack,<br>
<br>
I would add that what I have seen from Facebook is that they "smelt blood in the water" during the pandemic. There is a bigger picture here.</div>
<ol type="1">
<li>Those of us who are “BBC" (Born Before Computers) can talk of walking away and life continues. But any urbanite born after Windows 95 does not have the “luxury”. The pandemic simply made digital interaction “essential"</li>
<li>Facebook has a collective “population” across their platforms of almost 3 billion. Let’s take 10% and assume these will do commerce on their platforms. That is a market the size of the USA or Europe north of the Alps or Nigeria combined with South Africa.</li>
<li>For developers, Facebook has introduced things like the <strong>Instagram Content Publishing API, </strong>which means "Instagram Business accounts can schedule and publish posts to their Instagram Feeds from third-party platforms.” Think integration with ERPs and CRMs.</li>
<li>And just like Microsoft and lately AWS, Facebook has created Facebook Developer certification so that one can be a technical expert in Facebook marketing products. <- A job right there that did not exist six months ago.</li>
</ol>
<div dir="auto">Just keep in mind the market being addressed here. The train left the station, as Barrack said. The potential money the "post BBC” generation on FB and other platforms are likely to make, considering people like <a href="https://linktr.ee/ElsaMajimbo" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Elsa Majimbo</a>, are too tantalising to turn away from. These are the choices this generation has. Either one starves in a country run by thieves or jumps onto the digital platforms and make a life for oneself. Elsa’s dad told her that this “Internet” thing is getting in the way of her studies, considering that she is quite smart. Guess how that conversation went ...<br>
<br>
Privacy, what privacy? Even if I say I want the contents of my emails to be “private” on Gmail, what I are really concerned about is how Google uses the access to my information in my InBox and how it “secures" it against leakage from "unauthorised” parties. Data “privacy” is concerned with "how data is shared with third parties.” What people are interested in is the security or protection of data, not privacy in the “private” sense. A vast majority on Facebook platforms are going nowhere. Apple is playing the same game here with their “hardware” platforms, just more subtle.</div>
