Nationalizing social media wouldn’t work the same though. It’s an inherently international thing. Nobody will use “Canada Twitter” if their friends from other countries aren’t on it. Also, speaking as a federal IT worker, the government is just about the last entity you want working on software projects. Our project management rules mean that we have to run IT projects like it’s the 90’s, even though more effective project management approaches have been adopted by all tech companies in the last couple of decades.
Under funded and unsupported programs or services is not an indication of an idea not working … it’s a symptom that it isn’t appreciated or supported.
If an idea is to be given a chance to succeed, it has to be properly supported and given enough resources to achieve full potential.
Social Media is big business and it has the power to make it break other big businesses and even governments.
It’s like giving the keys to democratic institutions to private companies … and once that happens, what do you think they’ll do with that.
No one wants any third party, or government institution have any control over social media because it will affect who makes money. This is the main reason why no one would want to support the idea.
