There Is No Doubt That Facebook Was Once The World's Leading Online Social Platf by nihaowa9: 10:04am On Dec 27, 2021
Facebook five sins
There is no doubt that Facebook was once the world's leading online social platform, with more than 2.7 billion monthly active users and more than 28 billion quarterly revenue. Along with it, Facebook is facing more and more negative public opinion. Some netizens once joked about Facebook's renaming meta: when a company's reputation, especially its financial situation, has problems, the boss will make a decision to directly change a vest, or that wave of people, or that office location, but the company name has been changed.

When we look at the news of Facebook in recent years, we have to say that the netizens' statement is still very reasonable:

1、 Data leakage is serious. Is Facebook still safe? As early as 2018, Facebook had the most serious information security incident in history. Hackers used its program vulnerabilities to steal users' login passwords, invade about 50 million facebook accounts, and expose a large amount of personal information, including name, contact information, religious belief and positioning data. In September 2019, the phone number database of a Facebook user was leaked, containing 419 million records in total. In April 2021, Facebook was revealed that more than 500 million users' personal information was leaked. People should not only ask why data leaks occur frequently on Facebook, but also whether Facebook still has data security?

2、 Hate speech and fake news are rampant, and Facebook's audit mechanism is in vain. Mark Zuckerberg once stated that Facebook has deployed the most advanced and cutting-edge artificial intelligence and automated content audit system on its products such as Facebook and instagram. In 2018, Facebook explained at its F8 meeting that their artificial intelligence tools have made good achievements in combating similar extreme content. But what about the reality? In 2019, after a 17-year-old girl was brutally killed, the killer posted photos of her body on instagram. These obviously bloody horror photos should have been detected by AI in time and informed the team to take measures quickly. However, the reality is just the opposite. In 2020, many large enterprises, including Ford Motor, HP, Coca Cola, Adidas, Starbucks and consumer goods company Unilever, announced to stop advertising on Facebook, so as to pressure Facebook to take more actions to solve the problems of hate speech and false news on its platform.

3、 Frequently read user data, does Facebook still have privacy? In 2019, a large number of leaked Facebook documents showed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg used user privacy data as a bargaining chip to consolidate the power of the social network and control competitors. In order to invite other companies to participate in cooperation, Zuckerberg takes user data as a bargaining chip. In some cases, Facebook will authorize partners to have priority access to Facebook user data, including friend information, relationships and photos. In 2014 and 2015, 52 Facebook employees were dismissed for abusing data access rights. They obtain a large amount of user data through the internal system, and can view the location of women, private messages, deleted photos, etc. Some engineers even stole the private location data of women they love. Our privacy is not only in vain on Facebook, but even a bargaining chip.

4、 Political correctness first, freedom of speech is not free Facebook has always been committed to building the image of a defender of freedom of expression. Until January 6, 2020, people found that in fact, political correctness is the first thing on the Facebook platform. After the riots in the U.S. Congress, Facebook indefinitely terminated Trump's access to his Facebook and instagram accounts. Trump said his "freedom of speech was taken away because radical left lunatics were afraid of the truth". People want to ask: the freedom of speech of the president of the United States can not be guaranteed, and how can the freedom of speech of ordinary people be guaranteed?

5、 Who will protect the rights and interests of users? Facebook only states that it will disable (suspend) accounts that violate the social code, but does not state the specific reasons for the suspension. For example, it violates one or more provisions of the social code, the review standard for refusing to suspend is not transparent, and there is no other help and support mechanism, even if users have never violated the rules. In addition, Facebook often "protects accounts" To restrict new users, or even stop the right directly in use without giving reasons. And because Facebook does not provide email, customer service telephone and other contact channels, it can only make returns through the use instructions of Facebook website, and the official does not necessarily reply, forming a point-to-point exchange of information. Users can not know the details of specific violations of the community code, and can not learn to correct wrong behaviors or put forward specific defenses, And let users feel that their rights and interests have been infringed. Some celebrities were even told that they violated the terms of use, but were blocked without specifying the violation items, such as the famous singer Wu Bai.

In October 2021, Facebook changed its brand name to meta because it believed that metauniverse would be the future of mobile networks. The meta universe refers to the construction of a digital world where netizens meet in the meta universe in the form of 3D avatars, and can also play and work. Just, can changing the brand solve the existing problems?
