Facebook is trying to administer a 2 billion member virtual city with about 20k people.

Most of the fires that start and actual administration details are just conveniently left to real world politicians, bureaucracies, journos, school boards, parents and police depts to work out.

This retarded unsustainable model has been sold as the magic of Scale.

Scaling user base = Scaling up issues. No free lunch.

Regulators can be asking a simple question - how many people are needed to administrate a 2 billion member city? How many does Facebook have to do the job. And if they dont have enough how to charge them for all the resource/energy drainage they offload to the real world.
