Re:Why don't more developers "use the platform"?

“The platform” sucks for the following reasons:
* cross-platform differences
* hard to style and make it seamless with your existing UI
* not extendible with custom functionality
Could be a right choice in some cases, but it never was in my personal experience.

Oligarchs can always opt out and they do opt out. It's almost the definition of having power: rules for thee but not for me.

Personal space intrusion doesn't equal monitoring public roads.

I think Flock could be very useful to track actual criminals. However, any queries to the system must require a warrant and publicly available track record.
