   I’m just remembering the time FB killed a bunch of small media companies by pretending that its video engagement was through the roof.

   And the time they non-consensually experimented with only showing awful things to certain users to see if it would isolate and depress them (it did).

   And the time they hosted the livestream of a mass shooting hate crime.

   And the time they enabled a genocide.

   Or Cambridge Analytica. JFC remembering facts and events is not hard.

     One of the worst for me was that they offered for advertisers to target KIDS "during moments of psychological vulnerability".

     Targeting emotionally vulnerable kids.

     For profit.

     Here's the 2017 article from Wired: https://www.wired.com/2017/05/welcome-next-phase-facebook-backlash/

     @VirginiaMurr @dznz "Could prompt backlash"

     But didn't.
