Next month, Brexit will officially be in force.
And when that happens, many of the doom-and-gloom projections will suddenly become a present reality.
Border access. The 236 daily truckloads of fruit and veg to the UK. Access to Interpol. The NHS supply chain of vital medicines.
But there’s at least one thing you don’t need to be worried about.
Accessing your Facebook account.
Barring a glitch at Facebook HQ, chances are excellent that you will still be able to check your newsfeed, post a story to your sister in Munich, tune into a Facebook Live broadcast by an author from Brussels and argue on Facebook Messenger with fellow GoT fanatics.
None of that will change at all…and that’s hugely important.
Because if we can count on being able to access Facebook, then is it possible that we can use this constant as a tool for stabilising other areas of lives post-Brexit?
I think so.
You see, Facebook is simply an example of a private, non-government dependent online platform that connects people from around the world.
What if communities around the UK decided to network with each other to create their own supply chains for whatever they need?
What if Doctors throughout Great Britain and Europe decided to network across traditional lines to create their own supply chain…and then invited patients to connect with it?
“How can we turn this into a Facebook?” might be a useful question to ask about every area that seems uncertain.
