Does Facebook ever go a tad too far? Hmmn, perhaps when they conducted underhanded psychological experiments on
their users, or shared your private data, or claimed to have more users than
they do, or suggested Facebook users are more connected than they are, or lied
to their marketing partners about their ad-viewing metrics. Apparently none of this has gone just
far enough for the money-hungry capitalists leading Facebook. So in another insipid tradition, they
have allowed another issue to go on for way too long. In just the past year, in countries such as the United
States, Mexico, Thailand, and Sweden, more than 20 crimes (mostly violent such as gang rape) have
been committed using the tools offered on Facebook Live. It is now the choice destination for
psychopaths to cut loose! You see,
these video get outstanding media ratings and millions of ad-views from a repulsive
chunk of our social community, and if Facebook can make a buck off your death
than that’s a great return on investment.
That’s why Harvard MBAs (we meant cowards) get paid the big bucks. Don’t worry though, if you die a grisly
death on this product, Facebook will wait a couple days to maximize the
millions who tune in or download a copy, and then summarily shut the video
down only if people protest. And Ms. Sandberg will
coincidentally merchandise to your family, her book on how to cope with grief and loss. Conservative news and comments during
the 2016 campaign season on the other hand were labeled as dodgy, and taken
down with lightening speed. So at
least they are consistently untoward (sarcasm). A broader question is not about my own personal values, but
what do you think of a company who immorally allows unsafe products to fester,
which they know serves to catalyze nauseous people to
hurt friends and family of yours?
