Is that what his company does? Or is that what some of his users do?
Facebook fundamentally makes money from its users liking stuff, thus signalling preferences, so it can then advertise to users with those preferences.
I dont think that has anything to do with the "malignant social" behaviour of the human species. It is very hard to provide a social communication platform to a species addicted to sharing stories, and not to "science".
