    Facebook owns a ton of companies that young people do use, including Instagram that has tons of ads. The US has 200 million active as well. So plenty of people use it.

    When you plug a billion people into a neural net and create a hive mind, that trumps intuitive search results and 2 day shipping.

    Who do you think owns Instagram? They sure as shit use that. In 20 years Facebook will have absorbed "the next big thing" into their conglomerate a couple of dozen times. The real big dogs eat the competition and keep chugging with changes, they don't just go away. Microsoft has proven that repeatedly.

    The fact that the 2 partisans never agree on anything but they agree on this when there's likely lobbyists throwing blanks checks at them to make it go away should tell you something.

    But you're rooting for Facebook. Dumbass.

    And if so, what they are having for dinner. And for some people, every single step they take during the day.

    Every website and business runs on AWS or google cloud. Facebook ain’t shit compared to that

    yeah I know they own instagram, everybody knows that. Instagram, the website that hot chicks put their pictures on it. Oooooh scary, they are really taking over the world with that one

    our politicians are after it because it’s an easy target. And they don’t want to do any hard work

    Wrong. By a very long shot. Yeah AWS is running away with it right now because of the head start factor but I'm an IT guy for a pretty large Fortune 500 company and I know that we and our competitors are firmly entrenched in the mire of Azure.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love for us to convert over to AWS but Microsoft with their never ending contracts with big business and government still hold a ton of clout and I won't consider AWS the big dog until I see that changing.

    Facebook has zero true competitors. Because they keep buying them and using their tech and user base to create a stronger hold on the industry. They are as close to a monopoly as it gets in this country. Okay maybe Disney, then Facebook.

    I have to hear this. What makes Facebook an easy target?

    because nobody likes Zuckerberg. Politicians can go after him and republican voters and democrat voters alike will support it. It’s not controversial or challenging. It’s easy

    I never had the chance to use Azure for cloud computing, we only use it for AD, O365 and intune.

    I'm AWS certified. A lot of start ups seem to go AWS, but the big companies who have been around do seem to prefer Microsoft

    It's not terrible but comes with the standard parade of MS bugs, I was happy enough to ditch the legacy storage for reasons not related to infrastructure.

    His face isn't small enough for his head. This is clearly a manipulated image.

    That's the reaction I expect every time I consider using the verb "trump" in a sentence.

    I bet he likes that.
