This is quite the stretch of the phrase “You should know”
All these monopolies need to be broken and billionaires taxed out of billionaire status.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it you need to watch The social network movie.
Nah, nationalize it.
I’m not sure that a government run propaganda machine would be any better. Especially not this government.
You’d be surprised what can happen when you remove all the ads, put it on github, and start accepting PRs.
If the algorithms for displaying content are options in the user’s settings, all your fears are mitigated
Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Mark is a good, kind person
No he’s not.
He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.
Chris Hughes sucks almost as much as Zuckerberg. He fucked up his tenure as owner of The New Republic. He’s just as much of a worthlessn rich dickbag.

He also literally killed a story on Apple’s tax dodging calling the story tone deaf in response to Tim Cook coming out as gay as though those two things aren’t mutually exclusive.
Imagine knowing millions of people hate you. You’d wanna go build a giant hole in the ground to go hide. Oh wait.
He is literally building a fallout bunker on dispited lands destroying the community, which is obviously a great example of his companies macro cultural damage.
Important: He did these things to cause harm knowingly and deliberately.
“They trust me for some reason. Idiots.”
-Mark Zuckerberg, ç 2001-2002
Any human with knowledge of the company and a decent sense of right and wrong knows it should be dismantled.
Why should we know this?
Okay.
And?

I mean it is a total lack of value, because it once again means that people listen to some rando on where our society should move towards rather than scientists. Facebook is bad for society. Don’t listen to founders, don’t listen to millionaires, don’t listen to billionaires. Listen to scientists.
If people actually listen to this dude and not to scientists, that’s an even bigger problem, because once again people are incapable of understanding value at a basic level.

Entry level would be listening to scientists on news sites… not continuing to listen to billionaires on news sites. Their behavior has not changed one iota if they continue to listen to billionaires on the news.

Here’s the thing. Famous people have been going on and saying things like “Facebook is bad” for over a decade now. Those people you’re talking about already had the chance to get past entry level.
The “entry point” isn’t “listen to billionaires”. It’s “stop listening to billionaires”. These are two fundamentally opposite ideas so there’s no chance for the first to be an entry point to the second.
The general public won’t click on an article about what scientists say, but more likely will click on an article about the founder of Facebook. That’s just how it is. So if you want people to wake up to a fact, it’s helpful to meet them where they are.
Or you can just tell them what they should value as a source of information, that usually works really well with humans.
Why should I know this
To have another reason to dream about bombing Facebook’s HQ.
You know what they say, ”Don’t bomb the whistleblowers with the CEOs"
Roll out the guillotines if that fuckwad billionaire refuses.
Okay? So why hasn’t he done anything while Mark was running away with it all?
Because he hasn’t been there since 2007?
Okay? So why hasn’t he done anything prior to his exit in 2007? What stopped him from telling Mark or seeing something in Mark that spelled malicious intent from doing the damage he’d later do?
Dude, they didn’t even allow public registration a year prior. This was basically the product in its infancy and has no bearing on what’s happened over the course of the last couple of decades.
I might as well ask you why you didn’t step up and fix it.
Since it’s US based, I’m pretty sure it will soon go down with the rest of the nation.
Maybe trump will nationalize it, to make his propaganda posts always show at the top or some other fascist bullshit.
Pretty sure Facebook has been paid by the gov for some time now.
15 years too late
Yeah, probably so he can start a similar company and get his piece of the pie.
