It’s hard for me to not get emotional and keep my eyes clear from anger in topics like this.

But does anyone else think that Facebook is just pure evil at this point? Is there anything they won’t do? Do they have any ethics at all?

I don’t mean the line employees. I don’t mean the tons of hires who I’m sure are working to “improve” things with the side effect of better publicity.

I’m referring to the very top. Zuck and his inner circle. They’re creating a machine that is undoubtedly making society worse. They are evil and they don’t care.

You're not alone. I don't like this level of abuse of power, either. I don't miss Facebook, and I see that it is useful in some ways. I'd prefer government regulation with teeth, assuming the government doing the regulating is not abusing its power. That takes continuous effort by all of us. It's messy, and that's okay.
