I agree. From the article:

I found this absurd. The idea that "move fast and break things" referred to a reduced level of API compatibility seems much too narrow. Yes, it's understood as a license to break parts of the site in the interest of advancing the product.
Facebook did much more than that: it broke/disrupted/redefined our social fabric, the way we understand each other. Along the way it broke promises, expectations, trust, fears, introversion, and boundaries. And it did this very, very quickly--ten years of Facebook and we are all different.
