Facebook reifying “friends” into a consumer product they own and control is for sure one of the more socially alienating and consumer controlling behavior one can expect a giant monopolistic company like this would do in the age of late stage capitalism.
It wasn’t the over controlling socialist government of Ingsoc in a one party state which managed to change our thought by makinging 2+2=5, but rather a social media company Bourgeoisie in a highly corporatocratic government which fulfilled this newspeak.
