On June 18, 2016<\/strong>, one of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s most trusted lieutenants circulated an extraordinary memo weighing the costs of the company\u2019s relentless quest for growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe connect people. Period. That\u2019s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in<\/strong>. The work we will likely have to do in China some day<\/strong>. All of it,\u201d VP Andrew \u201cBoz\u201d Bosworth wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we connect more people,\u201d he wrote in another section of the memo. \u201cThat can be bad if they make it negative. Maybe it costs someone a life by exposing someone to bullies.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

The explosive internal memo is titled \u201cThe Ugly,\u201d and has not been previously circulated outside the Silicon Valley social media giant.<\/p>\n

The Bosworth memo reveals the extent to which Facebook\u2019s leadership understood the physical and social risks the platform\u2019s products carried \u2014 even as the company downplayed those risks in public<\/strong>. It suggests that senior executives had deep qualms about conduct that they are now seeking to defend. And as the company reels amid a scandal over improper outside data collection on its users, the memo shows that one senior executive \u2014 one of Zuckerberg\u2019s longest-serving deputies \u2014 prioritized all-encompassing growth over all else, a view that has led to questionable data collection and manipulative treatment of its users<\/strong>… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

See?  They knew all along that what they were doing would hurt the users that they fooled into trusting them.  They recognized that after their tactics are outlawed here, assuming Republicans are removed from power, they will need to employ those scams from China. Even subjecting the entire nation to Trump was less important to them than their greed.<\/font><\/p>\n

With Facebook, the only way to win is not to play!<\/font><\/p>\n

UNPLUG!!<\/font><\/h1>\n

RESIST THE REPUBLICAN REICH!!<\/font><\/h1>\n
