What could they possibly be doing with 25,000 staff? That is insane.
1). prevent the spread of fake news.. they need a better solution than the user-tagging bs if an article is valid or not. there was a scientologist that had an account that wasn't active for 5+ years, that started posting how puerto rico wasn't that bad when the storm first hit. why is this account not being banned or suspended when people are reporting it and they're reposting pictures from texas claiming it to be all good.
2). prevent outside interference with elections. the first baby step is if they're accepting rubles for political ads targetted at americans, ban it. simple as that. then it'll get more complex and interesting handling proxies doing the dirty deed. the hearing w/ congress was pathetic and makes fb even more untrustworthy.
3). ban fake accounts / tie in a real human behind the account. 100000 fake users means a lot less to me if i'm an advertiser than 10 real people.
even though pretty much everyone i know is on facebook, i'm itching for another platform with better integrity to jump ship to.

In another thread here we are learning how much of this "daily active users" is actually bots run by corporations. I for myself have shown myself out of Facebook and enjoy real live interactions with human beings like it's the '90s.
But in the 90s we were all watching 4-6 hrs of TV a day.

When we let poor journalism like this headline go uncontested we erode public trust.
