That's what confuses me, a bit. Consider just as a hypothetical that Facebook is the single most unethical company on earth. Just as an example, whether you agree with it or not. I still wouldn't necessarily agree with what's

And so yet another thing Facebook touches turns into garbage. This is from the same company that promises transparency... yet buys up their competition and does this (and shares data between Whatsapp and FB). They really have no moral compa

I am so, so angry at Zuck's repeated public exhortations of "We care about you"... while ruthlessly crushing their competition and having repeated scandals. I don't like bad things people do in general but when it comes

Unrelated but this is why Facebook sucks, you can't meaningfully vote with your wallet if your friends are on Facebook because then you have to stay on Facebook because that's where everything is (Yes, cue the comments saying &quo

How does the internal culture at FB come to grips with the world's vision of them as creepy and amoral and still do stuff like this anyway?

I don't know too much about this so apologies if this misses the mark, but how much of this was due to it being opt out? Or hidden behind confusing options?

Yeah forums where the company "interacts" with users is great. "This change is beneficial." "No, it isn't." "Yes, it is." "But it isn't!" "We respect your feedback but we&#x27

They certainly don't provide better privacy controls today, if they ever did. And even that they ever did is unclear. https://www.wired.com/story/why-zuckerberg-15-year-apology-t...

At the risk of much hate and downvotes, this is I feel the prototypical example of one of the issues with HN. Disagreeing is fine, but this is a pretty long, detailed article yet half the comments here are "the author is wrong, there&#

Can we also fix the recommended videos so it's actually related to what you're watching and not the most reactionary garbage?

I still find Facebook has one of the most toxic cultures of any company out there. All they've ever done during their history is betray user trust, but it's ok as long as they keep 'apologizing' and then doing nothing to

Why do you insist on switching to Top Stories even when the user consistently switches back to Most Recent? Why are there not more granular privacy controls? Why is what a user sees of their friends that which is in the audience for a post?

Good. Thank you. I legitimately appreciate this. Honesty is all anyone asked for.

Facebook, Myspace, Snapchat... is it that hard to, you know, not do asshole things when you sign on in a position of responsibility working for these companies?

When FB essentially becomes the internet, they need to be receptive to the needs of their users. It's not informed consent to have features like that.

You know that button on FB called "share"? If I wanted someone to see something I'd press that or manually copy it into my status update. I don't want FB making the decisions for me and they've received feedback for

But you shouldn't be able to just find things like that so easily. Sure if I go on a post I could find it but the fact Facebook notifies me of this in the first place is incredibly disrespectful.

It's also fairly difficult when they intentionally make it hard for the distinction of public/non public to be understood. "People you may know" is a privacy violation. "A friend commented on such and such post&quot

Thing is, is that true with FB with their dual class structure and MZ owning most of it?

Okay, so like, I'll defend them on this in principle. That said, can you address, like, you know, the myriad scandals you have BEFORE doing something ELSE? It's a bad look.
