The Facebook Whistleblowers, as they are called, didn’t tell us much that we didn’t know already.
The platform is pure evil. It spies on people, and ignores extremists and political terrorists (like Trump’s January 6th “supporters”) in order to drive “engagement”.
Over time, it’s been getting worse. It’s certainly no wonder why young people are abandoning it.
They may not be primarily concerned with the spying or the manipulation.
If it’s true that they are just going to other Facebook platforms like Instagram, WhatApp, as well as the non-FB Snapchat, which is actually worse in some ways, then they aren’t learning the important lessons.
