To me, the interesting thing about the recent facebook 'scandals' is how effective artificial outrage is. Everybody always knew facebook's business model was selling user information. Getting upset about them selling too much user information is absurd.
Clearly what's happening here is facebook is being targeted by traditional media.
I don't like facebook, and I don't use it - but honestly, when there's such a perfect storm of 'breaking' non-events, it's probably bullshit.

I suspect that it is more that it is being targeted by people who want to distract from the Trump / Cambridge Analytica / Russia side of things, and people/organizations, including in the traditional media, who had pre-existing biases against Facebook are being “useful idiots.”
