In theory that's what it was going to do. In reality, it's turned big tech into a propaganda machine and killed the competition in the sector.

The competition was killed by the network effect. I.e., you have to be on Facebook if all your friends are on Facebook.

It also was killed by moving away from open technologies (like RSS). Instead, each big social media company has its own walled garden.
