On: George Soros: Facebook and Google are a menace to society

I agree with your thesis that we are in an uncharted territory - but predicting that Google and Facebook are going to be obsoleted soon does not follow from this. The problem with social media is that they can control how we think and in particular how we think about them. There might never be a way out of that.

That would assume bad intent on behalf of said companies.

I would caution to use that as a motive for these kind of thought experiments
