Facebook open sourced many useful libraries, and it's what matters to me first. Secondly, as a user, it has problem, just like any company.

- FranzFerdiNaN 8y agoFacebook was instrumental in electing the worst president ever that is causing damage that will last for decades, it seems that every month now a story break that they handle their users' data even worse than thought possible before, but hey, they made this cool open source library so i guess it all balances out!
- chillacy 8y agoWhy blame Facebook and not: - voters for actually choosing this guy - the media for giving this guy so much coverage - people for not fact checking Blaming Facebook feels like shooting the messenger. It’s not going to fix any of the underlying issues going into 2020. At worst it’s a distraction, like birthers against Obama.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoIt's a strange meme that "facebook elected Trump" when every news org gave him billions worth of free coverage because it was good for their bottom line. They elected Trump because they knew a Trump presidency would be the best thing to happen to them since Monica Lewinsky. Somehow we all seem to have forgotten that.

- Zelphyr 8y agoSo it’s ok that they repeatedly, and in the sole interest of their bottom line, violate their users privacy (that they explicitly claim to protect and care about btw) and allow unscrupulous groups and governments to use that data to manipulate masses of people in ways nobody has ever dreamed of because... they gave away some lines of code?!
