Facebook deserves to become a tech pariah. People should have turned against them during the predatory racial ad targeting scandal, or the depression scandal, or the Cambridge Analytica scandal. If broadcasting live murder is what it takes, so be it.
When America finally gets some good regulators and trust busting politicians, Facebook will get its commupance and its going to feel good.
- product50 8y agoNo one has turned against them except for media narrative. People still continue to use them as much as and many times more than before. Hacker news crowd is not representative of general populace. These stories which are being upvoted here - normal people don't even care about them. If Facebook is morally bankrupt, so is Twitter, Snapchat and all other social apps. Facebook represents what humans are - and humans are a mix of all different types. They are good, vile, sympathetic, apathetic, passionate, depressed etc.

- hannasanarion 8y agoFacebook is by far the worst. To my knowledge, Twitter and Snapchat haven't targeted predatory home loan ads at black people, nor did they intentionally make millions of users depressed by manipulating their news feeds just to see what would happen, nor did they collaborate with shady political companies to attack several elections and then attempt to hide the evidence. These aren't things Facebook was a platform for, these are things that Facebook chose to do.
