No, they are not producing any kind of good for the world, never mind "the most".

For the users, Facebook is just a means of communication, among many others. If it disappeared tomorrow 10 different platforms would replace it and the level of goodness in the world might even increase.

Doing good is probably the lamest, least truthful excuse for working at Facebook, goes to show how self-deluded people can be.

What if you are working at Facebook on improving Linux's network stack for example? Sure, if you have the skills to do that, you will find work very easily. But is it easy to find a job that would allow you to make these kind of contributions?
