Imagine a world where Facebook was banned.

The year is 2021. The world is a very different place.
The #deleteFacebook campaign of 2018 changed the way humanity communicates, the way people relate to each other,
the very way we think about life itself.

As the groundswell of public opinion grew into an irresistible wave, governments around the world had no choice but to respond.

It was determined the Cambridge Analytica scandal was an unforgivable breach of privacy and a savage blow against freedom itself,
despite nobody being able to explain what had actually happened.

Authorities moved swiftly to ban Facebook and exile Mark Zuckerberg to the Kamchatka Peninsula, where he now works as a crab farmer.

Finally, the world's data, and the privacy of millions, was safe.

But since the abolition of Facebook, we have faced a few problems, to which we have had to find increasingly creative solutions.

The new GFC: Great Facebook crash

However, there remained a pressing issue.
After Facebook went offline, the global economy went into a sharp downturn, as businesses found themselves
unable to effectively market their products, while consumers, unaware of the amazing offers that were out there, s
at placidly in their homes, staring non-capitalistically at the walls.

The challenge became how to get the corporate message to the target market without the huge Orwellian engine of
Zuckerberg's grand edifice?
Just as it seemed the global depression would become a permanent state of being, the business community came up with
the perfect solution: FaceShop.

With FaceShop, any company could pay a monthly fee, supply a list of people they considered potential consumers, and
FaceShop would build a small store outside each of their houses, selling the company's goods and services.

The beauty of FaceShop is it requires no input from consumers.
No need to provide any personal information; the corporate customers of FaceShop simply take the best guess they
can as to who might like their products, and whoever they choose gets a shop, or several shops, in their front yard.

Privacy is protected, and the basic human right to shop is upheld.

It's been a wild few years, but we can all be grateful we've arrived at a place where we can live our lives as before,
enjoying all the fruits of modernity without worrying about the spectre of corporate surveillance.

The online world is finally safe for all, and now the only threats to our freedom are the rogue self-driving cars stalking
our streets, the roving bands of unemployed ex-Facebook employees and Twitter's recent purchase of the world's
largest motion-sensor camera firm.
