I deleted my Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts just this weekend. It's not that I don't like the service Facebook provides (I liked Insta in particular), but I don't want to be a part of the data harvesting, privacy destroying, democracy usurping empire any more. I don't believe Facebook has your best interests at heart. I don't think Facebook is good for society.
Also I read recently that they have a crisis internally amongst their staff with employees considering jumping ship. Additionally, new graduates no longer consider Facebook as the premium place to work. This may start to hurt them in the coming years.
- danso 8y agoI posted in another comment about how I believe the author is wrong. But what you mention having “read recently” would arguably count as aspects of a “media narrative”, as there isn’t data (beyond interesting anecdotes and conjecture) that employee discontent is at “crisis” levels. Only FB’s internal metrics could conclusively prove that.
- AndrewSChapman 8y agoThis seems legit: https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-employee-morale-drops-after-scandals-survey-report-2018-11?r=US&IR=T https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-employee-morale-dro... I think if the WSJ posted factually incorrect information, Facebook would have reacted and asked for a redaction and probably an apology.
