Since the public exposure of NSA's secret collusion with web giants Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL and Skype to spy on Social Media members, subscribers, friends, fans and fellow travelers, the Billion Dollar Boys have suffered some major wounds.
If each of the big Internet co-conspirators - Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL and Skype - were a Goliath, we'd be looking at each one as a battle casualty. Since the exposure of the Government-Giants collusion, the response of the wounded giants has been to hire public relations firms to help plead their victimhood. "We're innocent." "We didn't know."
Their bloodied images, their pleas for forgiveness cannot stem the tide of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of previously faithful followers, who can be seen dazed, confused, disillusioned, upset, betrayed, abandoning Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL and Skype.
The abandoned and betrayed army of friends and followers can't believe Goliath let the government snoops in through the back door. The disillusioned have learned that their only importance to the giants has been to be served up as fodder for the advertisers.
When asked what the "product" of Facebook is, most members claim they "don't know." The answer of course is "You." You, the member of all social media, are the product that the giants of all Social Media get paid for. Advertisers pay their cherished Facebook, Twitter, et. al. for serving up their heads on a platter to the top bidder. The benefits to the members have been minimal, if non existent.
The scorned masses are wondering in search of an alternative Social Media model that is more beneficial to them and their needs, and as far away from the snoops and Madison Avenue as possible.
