I worry that facebook, by taking this approach, is going to set va back. They're thinking about it as the next computing platform rather than a general one. And i feel like that scepticism is just solely lacking there. What made face books so powerful in such a machine,. particuarly from a sort of business perspective, is that, thanks to mobile, they were able to introduce immersion everywhere.
Ben and James discuss Facebook from multiple angles, including child sexual abuse material, encryption, Oculus, and a leaked all-hands meeting.
