It seems to do OK in the short to medium term.

#23There is nothing FB or Sandberg can do to fix Facebook's reputation in my mind. I have deleted most of the content I have posted to FB and keep my account only because I sometimes use Messenger.
I esp. would not use Messenger. That would seem to be the "spyingest". But I'm assuming you have someone who is all-in on Messenger you would lose otherwise.
Deleted FB and all content a year ago. Honestly, as I was on my way out, I was beginning to enjoy the "groups" I had discovered. Wish there were a lurker mode....

#24Even if Facebook actually wanted to change, intended to change and put time, money, and talent to the task this would still be a serious uphill climb. The idea that anyone could rehabilitate their image when they have no such commitment is laughable. Does anyone seriously think what this really isn’t just crisis mangement? Every quarter that FB can stave off inevitable backlash and regulation is money in their pocket…

I just mean they are one of the largest companies in the world and don't seem to be going anywhere with the rise of Instagram. It more or less seems that they have had no penalty for using this strategy.

smoking:respiratory system :: social media:mental health
There's no healthy way to use cigarettes, plenty of people manage to use Facebook without freaking out about it.
The Facebook == cigarettes claim is disingenuous.

All due respect, smoke causes cancer, images don't cause mental health problems. If cigarettes weren't addictive they'd still be REALLY bad for you. The problem with Facebook (or current Social Media) is that it IS addictive, and therefore bad, if it wasn't addictive it wouldn't necessarily be bad for you.
The health problems caused by smoking can be easily visualized as a pair of black lungs. Social media is harmful in a more invisible way.

Really? Besides "feeling good" (I assume?), I would be hard pressed to think of a single beneficial thing about cigarette. Facebook certainly has more productive uses than just making you feel good... the question is whether they're worth the downsides.

#29MZ (screaming): you broke my Facebook, so you better damn fix it.
CS: Whoah Mark, you know people want me to run for president. I can’t scorch my reputation fixing your dumb internet site. Plus enough of my shares have vested for me to leave with my pockets full of loot. It’s not like I ever have to work again.
MZ: [redacted]
CS: OK, I’ll do it.
What did Mark promise her? Would love to know what deal she cut.

#30I loved hearing Tim Cook's response about the incident "we would never put ourselves in the position of selling our user data". Fundamentally the Facebook business model was flawed & destined to fail. We hope the new generation of applications learn and evolve to better & stronger platforms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkyH3JRxndc
