If you're pissing off Facebook, you're probably doing something right.

Have we gotten to the point where "bad for Facebook" ~= "good for society"? It's both a good indicator for progress and a sad place to be as a community.

Far as I can tell, Facebook is fully metastatic at this point. Any benefit is far outweighed by the costs to society, mental health, and privacy.

Unfortunately, it's probably more of a shake down/way to get more campaign contributions.

#8What I'm most interested in is the redacted bits of the Order to Show Cause [1]
The scale of the remediation (no new launches) doesn't really match the scale of the accusation in the press release (Messenger kids once had a bug where kids could circumvent parental controls if the parents didn't pay attention).
The Order to Show Cause includes a comprehensive, in-depth review of FB's privacy programs - and it's almost entirely redacted. What did FB mess up so badly that the FTC feels this is the appropriate response?

We'd be better off without Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram. Anything that hurts these businesses probably helps society.
There is just no big benefit to justify the amount of damage done to mental health and privacy.

Or it is what it says it is.
