Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder, CEO Social Capital and former facebook exec, warned about the unintended consequences of social media at Stanford Graduate School of Business: "I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops we’ve created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation; misinformation, mistruth. You are being programmed"

During his View From The Top talk, Chamath Palihapitiya, founder and CEO of Social Capital, discussed how money is an instrument of change which should be used to make the world a better place. “Money drives the world for better or for worse. Money is going to be made and allocated – you have a moral imperative to get it and then use it to make a difference.“
The Verge Writes "Former Facebook exec says social media is ripping apart society": Another former Facebook executive has spoken out about the harm the social network is doing to civil society around the world. Chamath Palihapitiya, who joined Facebook in 2007 and became its vice president for user growth, said he feels “tremendous guilt” about the company he helped make. “I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works,” he told an audience at Stanford Graduate School of Business, before recommending people take a “hard break” from social media.

For the ones that may not have seen this video, I thought I would share it with you.
If this video does not send shivers down your spine about Facebook, then nothing will.
#DeleteFacebook and #JoinSteemit - #Promo-Steem Twitter Campaign
Yesterday, I suggested if anyone was using Twitter to use the #JoinSteemit tag along with the #DeleteFacebook tag that was trending.
#DeleteFacebook has been widely used around the World and it's not finished yet.
It was simply a matter of time that something like this would come along.
People are simply fed up with Facebook and after 14 years it has simply struggled to keep pace with technological advances.
Just because something is the biggest yesterday, doesn't necessarily mean it will be the biggest tomorrow.
STEEM: Why I strongly believe that the #STEEM ECOSYSTEM is set to become a +$500bn Powerhouse..!!
In light of the recent revelations surrounding Facebook, for the ones that may have missed this video I put out last June, I am sticking firmly to this prediction..!!
People are simply fed up with Facebook..!!
