I mean, it's a service. You can pay for it with your money, or pay with your data. I'd prefer the former, myself. But either way, it's not going to be free.
I would prefer paying for it with my taxes. Not for facebook though.
Like, you want Instagram to get some kind of government subsidy? Why? And what about people who don't want to use it? I mean, I don't use Instagram.
I would imagine it as lemmy. It would be a free, ethical software which is indirectly funded by the government.
Everybody uses facebook so that's a good reason to turn it into a public property. We could make it without anti-features. Made for people, not for profit.
By this same logic I take it you'd be ok with the day care saying "you can pay with your money or we can use your kid for manual labor"?
