I saw this on a Finnish post, so let me reformulate it a bit and post it in English.

Finnish universities 1996:

"Here's an operating system we created for you. Here's a chat network we created you can use with the operating system."

Finnish universities 2026:

"We don't know how to replace Facebook for public communications."

Learned helplessness.

Creating a successful Facebook replacement has little to do with underlying technology or university education system. Success depends far more on access to deep, liquid capital markets and a large domestic market that can serve as a launching pad for international growth.
