This company will continue running roughshod upon society until governments do something about it. They are too big to fail. Competitors just get bought up. Unsurprising that boomer media can't comprehend this.

Re: Facebook is nearing a reputational point of no return
#12Is there a non-paywall link that everyone is looking at? Or maybe I'm the only one without a subscription to the Economist.
Or is the headline the only reason this is upvoted to #1, and people are just assuming what the article says?

Highly recommend.

#15This is the difference between the nouveau riche and the old centers of power. Facebook needs to look towards oil and banking if they really want to entrench themselves. Maybe take a leaf from Amazon's book.

#17No. That’s what people like us and all the main stream media hope for. But: most people I know don’t have the slightest clue that Insta and WhatsApp belong to the FB group. And even worse: most of them don’t give a shit about the reputation of FB. They just want to send messages and share pictures through those apps.
This has been my experience too. All Facebook is to them is a place where they can keep up with friends and family. That's it. The kind of content that mirrors this article's sentiment never breaks through the noise.

"boomer media can't comprehend this"
Believing news is on the side of the citizenry is like believing HR is on the side of the employee.

Facebook went down for 6 hours and they are back to using it the next day without a second of hesitation.
Maybe WhatsApp was affected by some people who, so I've heard, rely on it heavily. They may have (smartly) switched to a more decentralized platform to handle their critical communications.
So did they shed some edge-case users? Sure. Will it matter in the long run? Not at all.

#20Personally I dont see persistent public outrage that can effectively diminish Facebook. The "threat" at the moment is the congress passing bill to somewhat stymie Facebook.
