Because I just finished reading the book "Facebook Effect" before watching this film, many details can be matched, so I am deeply impressed.
I remember that when I was in college many years ago, I also coded a web version of BBS by myself, and used the server of the student association to open a network service in Beiyou. Since the mainstream BBS in Beiyou University at that time was still logging in via telnet, this new web version of BBS got more than 120 independent IP registrations within 8 hours, which made me ecstatic for a time. Unfortunately, only 8 hours later, I received an instruction from the secretary of the school's Youth League Committee to seal up the BBS. The reason was that without approval, students were not allowed to set up a BBS website privately, even in the name of a club. After a long time, the school officially launched the Web version of the Beiyouren BBS forum, and the BBS of revealing true feelings gradually faded away and became a legend since then.
So, this is the difference between China and the United States in terms of young people's Internet entrepreneurship. Whether it is Facebook, Linux, Microsoft, etc., although it looks beautiful, it is a virtual model far away from the ocean, and it is difficult to replicate in the vast and deep Central Plains.
Only to be remembered.
