Former Facebook exec: "I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we’ve created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth. You are being programmed".

It's no secret that Facebook sells user data to advertisers and then allow them to create astroturf accounts that feed emotional based memes to users that quickly are shared. The control is actually leased out to the "advertisers". Facebook only wants greater wealth. They don't really care who brings it to them until it raises red PR flags. Then they apologize and do it all again, slighly differently.
