Together, Instagram, Facebook and Google make ~$300bn in revenue a year, but have abdicated any duty to their users, offering not a "service" but as many ways as possible to interrupt the user to push them into doing things that make the company money. www.wheresyoured.at/the-great-lo...

If they can't provide the services people want due to the scale of their business, that sounds like a good time to consider portioning off sections of the business into separate entities which can be more easily managed.

"'well at our scale' we can't continuing providing you this VPN benefit at $19.99/year," said Google in its "Updates to your Google One membership" email to users 30 minutes ago, but helpfully adds if you have a Google Pixel then they won't cut you off.

also very telling that they talk about "users" rather than "customers".

clue does not scale.

Too Big to Fail, is Too Big to Function

as a software expert, i will testify that you can, in fact, turn account creation off on a site/service as a service provider

At their scale, they have a lot of resources to tackle the problem. But that would cost a tiny fraction of their profit.

wow. so much money to be made! good for them. tbf, the networks do the same thing.

“I have invented the super ultra massive bomb, which no one can turn off. I am very sorry but it is not my fault the bomb is this big”

Doesn't "well at our scale" beg the monopoly question?
