| I see two main risks for any kind of social media:
1. Stronger focus on data privacy, both in terms of legislation like GDPR but also increased privacy consciousness in society, including people's awareness that they are actually the product instead of the client. | |

(Most) Everybody gives their personal data away without a second thought. People simply don't care.
People
- reply to those"Congrats, you have won xy, just reply to this" leaflets
- use Migros' Kumulus points (virtually every retailer the world over does essentially the same)
- demand airlines' frequent flyer programs
- prefer mobiles with "free" operating systems (why would Google do that if not to track and collect your movement data)
- use "free" mail services that openly scan the mails to better target ads
- upload their data, some of which are most intimate and crucial, onto some cloud service, shedding control to some entity they have zero control over
- upload their personal pictures by which they shed control over to, among others, FB
etc etc etc
People (yours truly often, most readers always, included) don't care. They just don't.
