I am REALLY glad I hit the pause button with respect to Facebook

“The real problem is that Facebook profits partly by amplifying lies and selling dangerous targeting tools that allow political operatives to engage in a new level of information warfare. Its business model exploits our data to let advertisers custom-target people, show us each a different version of the truth and manipulate us with hyper-customized ads — ads that, as of two weeks ago, can contain blatantly false and debunked information if they’re run by a political campaign. As long as Facebook prioritizes profit over healthy discourse, they can’t avoid damaging democracies.”— Yaël Eisenstat ex Facebook Head of Global Elections Integrity Ops

This quote from the piece in the Washington Post entitled I worked on political ads at Facebook. They profit by manipulating us.
