Prediction: Whatever takes place of Facebook will be government sponsored. Facebook has a whole lot to do with peoples identity and news they see day in and day out. Should the replacement be offered on a partisan level, it would become popular either-way. The GOP has just about as many fan boys as do the Dems so if either party introduced a solution, it would take off. But it doesn't have to be a partisan project. We, the people, can do this ourselves.<p>It has the potential to solve many issues at once: online voting: social security replacement with national ID, hell even a global privacy setting that is opt out by default, but gives you total control over your data to advertisers.<p>Who's with me?! We could submit to YC this fall which gives plenty of time to plan it out.
