To say that Facebook has a problem is an understatement.. Unfortunately, we have been regularly informing about the problems of the once great social network for years. It seems incredible when you think about it, but more than ten years ago, Facebook enjoyed great popularity and image, and many people who don’t want anything to do with the social network today used it diligently at the time. Me among them.

The beginning of the end, the end of understanding as his already permanent crisis of reputation, we found it in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, with the use and misuse of data from social network users to decisively influence various electoral processes. A scandal that is still going on in court cases, where open trials are still going on, trying to bring Mark Zuckerberg to court to assess his possible liability.

The year 2021 was also difficult for Facebook, to the extent that the company decided to change its name to Meta and tried to separate the rest of its business from the image of the social network as much as possible. Something unthinkable a few years ago, but a necessary firewall today. The problem, however, is that Meta, the new corporate identity, still carries much of Facebook’s ballast, so the scope of the measure would be somewhat limited.

So for many, reading would be that Facebook is a problem for Mark Zukerberg, but as we can read in Business Insider, there are those who are considering reversing the equation, which seems pretty reasonable. And we’re not talking about any voice at all. Frances Haugen is the one who says Mark Zuckerberg is a problem for Facebooka name you may be familiar with because she was the main person responsible for leaking internal information from Facebook, the documentation she obtained when she stopped working for the company.

So Haugen is a person to whom we owe a lot of information about the internal unfair practices of Facebook that came to light last yearand that, as a result of these revelations, those responsible for society were forced to provide many explanations, and that many people reconsidered their relationship with the social network because, according to their testimonies, Facebook would be in breach of its own obligations.

The problem, as Frances Haugen says, is that In fact, Zuckerberg thinks that Facebook is an accurate reflection of society, an aspect that completely ignores the uses that many intoxication and manipulation experts have learned to use. And this is complicated by their position in decision-making, since their opinion has a devastating quantitative weight, 56%which means they always act according to their personal criteria.

So in his opinion Facebook will not be able to get out of the hole it has been in for several years if Zuckerberg stays in it. Of course, waiting for him to decide to give up his participation in decision-making seems unthinkable today, all the more so given the view I have already commented on. However, even if you want to stay inside, what you should consider is reducing the weight of your voice when making decisions.
