Facebook is out of control. If it were a country it would be North Korea.

==There is no power on this earth that is capable of holding Facebook to account. No legislature, no law enforcement agency, no regulator. Congress has failed. The EU has failed.

Which is what makes this moment so interesting and, possibly, epochal.
