I will add-I’m not engaging to win an argument. Facebook evolves our approach continuously as a direct result of learning more. I have learned so much from fierce critics in this group and many others. So if there are specific ideas you have, or constructive
criticisms, I genuinely do want to hear more. And conversely, I should think you might want to take advantage of hearing more about how the company actually works from an insider. If it’s just an exchange of stereotypes about business/vigorous company bashing
you’re after, then that’s fair! It’s much less interesting to me, however, and not a great use of my time so in that case I’d leave you to it, Brother Maina.<br>

<div>On the "educating model", I can do some ad-hoc paid consulting for you guys if you haven't thought of it. Lets discuss offline if interested.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't understand the society argument... Facebook is not "society". It is a *for-profit business entity* founded on what looks like a predatory business model which exploits human/society's weakness (e.g. narcissism, personal insecurities, reward mechanisms
in the brain etc) for monetized data and engagement. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's an interesting pattern that I hadn't originally picked on... It looks like mega corporations embrace pseudo-communism ideals to avoid owning problems that *they* created/exacerbated: <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;">"Beloved
users, the problem belongs to <i>all of us</i>, because we need each other as a community. So each one of you should give mega-corp a free lunch because its good for you"</span></span>.. but when it comes to
<b>profits</b>, they revert to pure capitalism "our profits belong to shareholders only. we are capitalists. no free lunches!". </div>

At no point did I say that the community has a duty to report or that the community is to blame. Facebook responds to the community when the report. This gives the community the power to let us know when something is wrong. Why would anyone *<b>not</b>* want

</div>
<div>

<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">1. Do social media/messaging platform play a role in crime as amplifiers, enablers?</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"> </span></p>

<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">2. Would crimes be harder to pull off if such platform could, through enhanced technical functionality (which might not necessarily be profitable), not be easily
used for organized criminal purpose? </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"> </span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">3. Does the community owe the platform a duty to report (as alluded here, such that the community can be blamed for platform misuse)? How much blame does the
community share?</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;"> </span></p>

<div>
<p class="ydp49d38d02yiv7076896197ydp9384324eyiv6268806654MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;">4. If indeed the community has a duty to help FB police its platform, will FB also share its revenues with the community seeing as they are its informal "employees"
as well? Or are they only buddies in bad times but strangers in good times?</span></p>
</div>
<div>

sabotaged) have recourse against the platform owner? To what extent? Who else should own the problem and why?</span></p>
</div>

(i.e. in developed countries/regions). </span></p>
