We were told the internet would solve the problem of wasted money on advertising back in the year 2000. Absolute bullshit. More than 20 years later, trying to solve the problem of wasted advertising money is basically destroying humanity.
This is why @evan_greer may be conceptually correct. Perhaps Facebook must be destroyed and we must muster the collective courage to decide that companies deserve destruction when they become implacable.

Let’s talk about all the regulation in the automobile industry and traffic laws and taxpayer funded public infrastructure and on and on this metaphor is not as smart as they think it is!
There are literally rules about the placement of headlights and taillights and the colors they are allowed to be. Does IG want the government dictating the app UI/UX because it certainly sound like that to me if we are to take this metaphor seriously (which we really should not)?
