    facebook’s reach.

    Cambridge Analytica has used it for elections.

    some android phones have fb factory-installed (and not easily removable).

    in some countries fb data consumption is totally free~

    there were reports of [publicized?] fb experiments manipulating user’s feed to elicit feelings of sadness, despair and hope.

      I was just thinking last night about how crazy it is that we’ve let a company as horrible and evil as Facebook mold and shape our society. Even governments are bending to their will. The fact that even the US government just gave up on making its own notification and communication platform and just started using Twitter and Facebook is ridiculous.
