My wording wasn’t clear sorry. I was imagining the whole system morphing, not the company being themselves morphed in public services.

Facebook could be the pRivately owned US social network and the hypothetical Francebook a public service, both exchanging in a federated fashion over some kind of agreed upon protocol.

yeah - that really would be challenging...the data streams would have to be checked for compliance with local law in both directions, in real time?

Of course, that's assuming they could ever agree on a protocol. :-P

Comparable to the efforts spent for the international stock and trade markets I guess. Standards, treaties, taxes, lots of quirks and paperwork.
