Having to hack the system just to share a photo? Really? Here's what's clear: users are on the losing end in the battle over how they share their information – not to mention how their "content" is "controlled" – as tech companies scramble to make money from that information and in doing so cut off vital pipelines to each other. What wouldn't be surprising is if increasingly mobile users get tired of such changes and focus (pun entirely intended) instead on the next new, shiny thing.
