And because of C.A. FB can probably claim they need to close the graph so that sort of thing doesn't happen again

But yeah, drives me nuts. Innovation happens due to the initial openness... then everyone closes down and takes their ball and goes home

Totally open data is likely a non-starter, but they could be forced to interoperate with other suppliers of comparable services under an open standard. There's no inherent reason why Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. couldn't all be Fediverse instances, with shared feeds at least for publicly-broadcasted activities (as opposed to the private data that CA was collecting).

That means your friend list includes my data. I don’t want my data shared between other companies.
