What is BS is assuming Mark Zuckerberg ever wrote the software for Facebook. We know the DARPA “Lifelog” project was cancelled on February 4, 2004 - the same day FB went online. He’s never had a consistent story about FB.
Consider the *millions* that don’t watch any news but “know things” based on their FB feed. I have no doubt that we’ve created a generation of mindless drones and social media like FB are the reason. It grabs their attention, draws them into an entire world of social media, and directs their attention while learning everything about them.
The crack-down on conservatives isn’t even being explained anymore, it is blatantly making it clear that FB “policies” mean whatever they want on any given moment. This whole thing is about control, money, and votes.
I don’t believe that is, in any way, tin foil hat stuff. If FB is broken up the pieces will be owned by all the same characters, it will just increase their wealth - and it certainly looks like this is their intent.
I don’t know the extent of Zuck’s involvement with the code, but what you describe in your second paragraph I have witnessed occurring in young people who use FB.
All FB knows about me is that I’m obsessed with German Shepherds.
Correlation != causation. Sorry, your dog’s dead, it will never hunt again.
