Great responsibility? In the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, Facebook briefly featured a bogus story that the shooter had 'Trump-hating' views.
What has changed is that the world has belatedly woken up to realities about social networks that were already obvious to anyone familiar with history and network science.
First, today's social networks are vastly bigger, faster and more widespread than those of the early modern era.
The US government sought to harness the power of social networks when the National Security Agency co-opted the big technology companies into its PRISM programme of mass domestic and foreign surveillance.
The Trump network had itself been penetrated by the Russian intelligence network.
According to Zuckerberg, Facebook is 'a tech company, not a media company We build the tools; we do not produce any content'.
Google's market share of online search is 87 per cent in the US. In mobile social networking, Facebook and its subsidiaries control 75 per cent of the American market.
