Where does it say that they don't though? Some Twitter execs tweet more than once a day, Facebook's exec profiles are private so you can't see their activity. Am I missing something? Quotes like this: > Facebook’s locked-down nature means mere mortals can’t see the private posts on Zuckerberg’s timeline, but it is hard to imagine him getting into arguments about a racist relative’s post of an anti-immigration meme. Make it sound like the article is just about bashing social medias, without having an answer to the question in the title.

I think the author may just be unfamiliar with the different social media sites and assumes that everyone uses them as he does. I don’t use Facebook much, but I’ve never made a public post and my friends aren’t visible. But you wouldn’t know this without asking me. My goal is to never be the subject of an article, but if I was, it would be lazy on the part of the author to assume that I don’t use Facebook because I have no posts visible to the author.

> Where does it say that they don't though? It doesn't. > Make it sound like the article is just about bashing social medias Every day the media releases propaganda against social media. On HN, we get a "social media/facebook" is responsible for all the ills of the world nonsense routinely followed by the same suspicious "I quick facebook and I won the lottery" style comments. If you feel like, check HN on the waybackmachine or any other archive site and you'll see. The obvious reason social media execs don't use social media as much is because they are too busy. It's the same reason that movie execs don't watch many movies, it's why football execs don't' watch too much football games, it's why newspaper execs don't read much newspapers, etc. Most top execs are busy running a company to be doing anything else. But theguardian along with the rest of the media has to spin everything for their own agenda.
