Facebook is way too comfortable at saying things that are 100% not true, and then walking them back after the fact.

I'd call that a constant disconnect between the executives (who told them in the first place) vs marketing.

Executives say what they need to, to make the shareholders happy; and the marketers need to clean up the mess, after the shareholders stopped paying attention.

Funny how this doesn't require executives to take responsibility for anything other than profit.

The term is lying. They lie constantly, consistently, and without a qualm.
