Look, if you want to have a serious, nuanced conversation about Facebook and it's business. I am all ears.

But I will not entertain low-quality, emotional comments like this and this community shouldn't either.

Nuanced and HN pretty much mutually exclusive. Additionally, on low-quality, given the level of discourse with in the US in general this is PBS level here! HN is pretty much 20-ish people whom think that you can have an actual discussion on the internet, and those over 30 who have enough experiential data to realize that will not happen. So where would you be on position Facebook's market cap and contribution to humanity has a whole are both overly valued but that within the vaccum of Silicon Valley there is more of a drive to be successful (make them dolla billz y'all) than advance mankind as a whole. And I will even conceded that Palantir would be the most vexing for me. In that it has enabled some rather spectacular work at the Nation-State level in making data accessible and malleable, but is the reason why the freedom of data movement is most at risk.
