I think the part of the memo that is so surprising to me is the company-wide acknowledgement of the bad practices we all talk about; I'm amazed that an executive would send out such a frank description of the misleading "dark patterns" that Facebook uses, even if people at the company know it to be true. I can't imagine that lawyers are going to be happy that there's a record of an executive saying this:

> All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day.
