Shouldn’t companies like Apple or Microsoft build an alternate to Facebook? With privacy as core USP
No one using FB anymore, what’s up and Instagram is where the users are. FB was clever enough to buy them in time.
It is WhatsApp not what's up!
stop facebook just blind it.
Oh yeah, Microsoft build something with better privacy! Damn, sister, you’re hilarious!
Says Kaspersky :)))
Yeah, we’re making 700 millions dollars a year on patching Microsoft exploits, so Kaspersky know what they are talking about. There were allegations about Kaspersky, and zero was proven. But you don’t even have to google to find Microsoft frivolous ideas of privacy on your computer if you have one.
Microsoft has Yammer!
You forgot Microsoft Teams!
Both yammer and teams are for enterprises. In what universe is teams a fb alternative
You want private messenger - use Threema or Signal. Nobody is interested in building private social media because people will not pay to join, and targeted ads are much better business
It will be less profitable but will still make money (profits)
The thing is to keep social media going you need a lot of new content all the time and new people coming on the platform. Otherwise the community is going to die slowly. And an audience of a paid social media platform is kinda limited.

Privacy is a hyped concept. The only entity which should not get my data is government. Facebook only targets ads based on my data. I am okay with that. The only people who are not okay are the news media companies which keep losing ad revenue to Facebook and the liberal politicians who have lost control of the narrative that earlier could easily be pushed by MSM but not anymore.
I liked and hoped Path to be the alternative to Facebook. I liked how it was a SNS for your close friends. But it didn’t take off. Probably timing was off. If it launched now, I suspect it would’ve done much better.
The world had its chance with Google+
Google is hardly a paragon for privacy
