Thought experiment #1: Facebook/Instagram disintegrate overnight. During that same night, a decentralized version appears that operates on something resembling the torrent protocol where users install a small receiver/transmitter on their machine and are able to participate in something perfectly resembling FB today (without the ads). The cases of bullying and such remain. How do you go about solving the problem in that case?
Thought experiment #2: The timeline is changed such that Bitcoin is actually made into a centralized protocol with one company at the middle with perfect control. Do lawmakers go about shutting it down because it contributes to drug exchanges and black markets?
