Mark Zuckerberg?s Private Facebook Is a Supplement, Not a Replacement

The primary one is the News Feed, which tries to make lucrative predictions of its users’ actions and desires by thoroughly analyzing their past activity.Zuck’s new privacy push, he writes, “is different from broader social networks, where people can accumulate friends or followers until the services feel more public. The idea of niche forums and small group chats is not an alien one to anyone whose age is greater than one digit, even though Zuckerberg presents the concept of online privacy (which his very own company has obliterated over the last decade!) as some sort of novelty he discovered in a yurt at Burning Man.

Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement that Facebook would build out private messaging as a bigger part of its operations does not mean that it is fundamentally changing its business model, you wrote today – but rather that it is “just creating another product.” Why is the company doing this now?The simplest reason I could give is that people just don’t trust Facebook anymore, and Facebook wants to give people reasons to trust them. The announcement comes after weeks of pressure from lawmakers and public health advocates to crack down on anti-vax content.“We are exploring ways to share educational information about vaccines when people come across misinformation on this topic,” Facebook said in its announcement.
