This is pathetic, and I would be embarrassed to be a Facebook employee after what has transpired over the past 5 years.

Extremely too little too late. The damage has already been done, and done, and done. Over and over again. Journalism is a husk of what it was before Facebook's algorithms became the primary way many consume news. Engagement as the key performance metric has damaged the human project.

This company cannot be brought to heel quickly enough. I have zero faith in american regulators, hopefully the EU can do something, anything, to lessen the penetrative rot of this company.

I personally know of two companies that actively refuse to interview recent Facebook employees. Of course most companies see Facebook employment as a positive.

My team actively screens out FB applicants.

"This company cannot be brought to heel quickly enough."

That you can say that and not think of yourself as authoritarian is the reason the US is so divided right now.
