Snake Oil Video In Light of Facebook

In light of the recent Facebook scandal, here's a delightful video on the origins of "snake oil," courtesy of Consumer Reports.

Snake oil led to the formation of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to protect Americans from unsafe medication.

Perhaps it's time for a Digital Platform Administration (DPA) to protect us from unsafe networks.

Or perhaps massively adopted #blockchain-based alternatives like #Steemit will render a DPA unnecessary.
