I don't know how to think about FB and these issues. To grow platforms to the scale that FB has requires long term thinking which I think FB showed throughout (curtailing annoying notifications - e.g. Zynga games spam - which might have looked like 'improved engagement'). Social media is brand new to humanity and companies of all types have traditionally done pretty shitty things to make a buck (for example, in the mining industry). FB is a company where people express themselves - that's quite a new thing! And FB is learning that we need to trust it. I don't think what they are doing is disingenuous, they are too clever for that. Though they are getting beat up a lot right now, in the long run it's probably for the good of the company - learning the hard way. (I own FB shares.)
