And who is going to break up TikTok or whatever comes next/instead?
The social media is like tobacco, and FB increasing the engagement at all costs is like when Big Tobacco were increasing addictiveness of the cigarettes. Like with tobacco, the way to deal with the issue is to wean the population off by in particular educating the population about the damage it does to them .
Btw, "Statement from Mark Zuckerberg" - that reminded that foundational tenet of Facebook :
Zuck: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard
Zuck: just ask
Zuck: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
Friend: what!? how’d you manage that one?
Zuck: people just submitted it
Zuck: i don’t know why
Zuck: they “trust me”
Zuck: dumb fucks
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoTo be fair to the guy, he was 19 then. Who amongst us hasn't said something (many things, in my case at least) stupid at 19?
- trhway 5y agohow many stupid things you said at 19 made you $100B? I'm pretty sure that if a stupid thing you said at 19 had made you a $100B by the age of 30 and continued to made many billions after that you'd pretty much continue to believe and follow that stupid thing.
