The article goes on and on to describe how Facebook has tried to do and be many things that it wasn't before, and how it has failed in those attempts to expand beyond a basic social network.
Fine, let's assume that that's true. Facebook did indeed do some useless things. But how is this a reason for its CEO to resign? Facebook did nothing wrong! Yes they failed to become better, and their platform became bloated, but so does every other platform in the world at the moment. But since when is failing to become better now suddenly a really good incentive for it to buckle down completely like the article is suggesting?
I feel the article's argumentation is completely unsound. Premises I have no say about, but its conclusion definitely doesn't follow from those premises.
The author didn't even rein in the privacy stories that are all over the news suddenly. Now that would give their argument leverage, but they didn't.
Go hate Facebook all you like, I do too, but this article doesn't make sense and doesn't deserve to give a reason for you to hate the company or its CEO.
