Not good.
Something negative is eventually going to be written about big tech, and Facebook stands out as the easiest to be negative about / even scapegoat.
Not only that, but the story is incredibly easy to write. Mark Zuckerberg is a single individual with near total control of the country. Itβs almost Shakespearean. Writing about any other company would be a muddled narrative with many different sides, hard to trace blame, etc.
