SHAME NEVER SLEEPS: UPDATING THE FACEBOOK TIMELINE AND SCARF

“Facebook Has Been a Disaster for the World”.
The New York Times has run many, many headlines that are critical of Facebook over the years,
but this one, published on September 18, takes the cake.
It feels surreal, seeing language generally reserved for atomic weapons, world wars, and
other existential threats used to describe a social media network – and by one of the world’s
most widely read newspapers no less. But this is what Facebook has brought us to, and the
facts speak for themselves.
Facebook has become a “a powerful vector for paranoia, propaganda and conspiracy-
theorizing as well as authoritarian crackdowns and vicious attacks on the free press,” writes
Jamelle Bouie. “Wherever it goes, chaos and destabilization follow.”
This, as they say, is not hyperbole. The evidence bears it out, as you can see in our
chronological compendium of the company’s harmful misdeeds beginning with the
Cambridge Analytica scandal in March 2018.
In the last two months alone, Facebook has flunked its own civil rights audit for allowing
false and inflammatory posts from people in power, and for pretending that hate speech and
other noxious content are a form of free speech in need of protection. It has failed to stop
global health misinformation on a staggering scale, with content from leading misinformation
sites receiving more views than legitimate health sites such as the CDC and the WHO. And, it
has added Ethiopia to its list of countries in which it has helped to incite genocidal violence.
Facebook has made endless claims about cleaning up the conspiracy theories, hoaxes,
outright lies, and other forms of misinformation that bring all this misery to the world. But
these claims are themselves misinformation, for misinformation is part of Facebook’s
business model. It’s part of Facebook’s DNA, and nobody, it seems, has the power to change
their DNA – not even Facebook itself.
So, we will do what we can to fight it – with information. These are the facts about the social
media empire that shapes thought and discourse, alters elections, induces genocide, and
boasts 2.7 billion members worldwide.
