I recently finished Chaos Monkeys and An Ugly Truth, and that removed any doubt in terms of how to look at Facebook as a company. It's a place skillful at proactively avoiding any knowledge that is troublesome, to later plead ignorance. "I did not know it, therefore I am innocent".
They know their platform is a radicalizing dumpster fire, they know they can fix it. The even did it once, right after the 2020 US election. But there was no money in the "nice" feed. To be clear, there was money in it, but there was no money.
In addition, never, EVER believe what they say. Facebook management is a skillful gang of chronically lying, conniving sociopaths with no moral compass, who are so good that they even manage to fool their own employees. WE HEAR YOU AND THE FIXES ARE COMING ANY DAY NOW.
The fixes were not coming.
Andy Stone can tweet whatever he wants - it's ALL bullshit, and at the end of the day, Mark Zuckerberg will fall back to his usual talking point. "Facebook gives people new ways to destroy the world". Sorry, I meant "connect".

- papito 5y agoI am sorry, I don't get the point. I cannot act like an asshole and blame "human nature". No one is perfect, but one has to try.
