Remember those? I do. They happened last month and of course, that's an eternity in our news cycle. Zuckerberg was dragged into congress and questioned by a bunch of people who still think AOL is relevant. Sure, Facebook isn't always innocent and yes, they have a bias that is certainly left wing-but no one forces you to use Facebook in the first place, so I have little sympathy for those who complained.
And complain they did. I have four people on my friends list who declared that after June first, they'd never go back on Facebook and they'd switch to another social media network. These people mean well, but fail to comprehend that every social network wants to be Facebook-it's why they are operating in the first place. In the rare, rare case that these other social networks become as popular as Facebook, they'd be doing the same things Facebook is doing right now.
And oh yeah, as of June 13th, those four people are still on Facebook.
