"Before breaking them up, we should see whether they are not just disrupted by a small player beating them out of the market, but by the market shifting, by the interest going somewhere else," he said.

That’s not idle chatter. He is currently working on a distributed personal storage and web software framework called Patchwork. Patchwork is designed to put data back in individual hands while allowing us to share it if we want. Instead of Facebook storing all of your data and deciding who can harvest it, you store it and allow each app to see only what it needs.

You could still get a popular social networking app that people hand too much data to, but at least it will be possible to build things that can’t collect as much data as Facebook or Google.
