The company is now confirming that much of what the Times reported is true, at least when it comes to Definers. In the post, Schrage disclosed that he had decided to hire Definers and was partially directing its efforts on behalf of the company. “Some of this work is being characterized as opposition research, but I believe it would be irresponsible and unprofessional for us not to understand the backgrounds and potential conflicts of interest of our critics,” Schrage wrote.
FaceBook goes from bad optics to worse optics. It’s just anecdotal, but I know a bunch of people who’ve stopped using the service. They appear to be having a hard time attracting new users. They’ve made lots of enemies in governments on both sides of the Atlantic and are not welcome in China. At what point do they become doomed to a downfall?

Since Steemit is an alternative to Facebook, we can only hope.......
#deletefacebook movement will continue to grow as they continue to dig their hole!

Face Book -
sad...Facebook is something I rarely go on anymore. My sister lives on it as do a few of my other family members. They love it without realizing what is happening to them.
I really don't see facebook going anywhere. People still use it. They don't care about their data being taken, they don't care that they are manipulated (though I don't think they even really believe that they are capable of being manipulated. Everyone agrees that everyone else are the ones who fall for manipulation... "never would I be able to be manipulated, only the dumb people, specifically those who don't agree with me politically.").
The only way facebook does is if the younger generation heads somewhere else. The average older person doesn't understand. Weirdly you'd think it would be them that would care about these issues. The few younger people that still have and use facebook accounts do so to interact with their less tech savvy and forward thinking family members. But, you see, they still have those open accounts.
Its sorta like the oldies hanging onto America Online, except to interact with them you to would need to have an America Online account thereby giving up your info.
This doesn't even get into the amount of non Americans who dont care about any of this, and act like the internet is Facebook.
