...and Facebook.
I hardly remember Facebook.... Isn't that these days a retirement platform?
A platform for people in developing countries, however. In some cases it supplants most if not all of the functions of what used to be several programs for Internet access and communication.
I mentioned Facebook because I'm seeing some people trying to share information how to grift with AI.
That... Doesn't sound good.
Facebook is not exactly a trustworthy thing and to have developing countries dependent on it the way you describe sounds dystopian. :/
But dystopian is sadly the theme of the 2020s
