Facebook’s scandals are endless. Facebook, which has shaken the trust of its users about personal data for a long time, has destroyed the trust of its current and potential users with the recent events. In the past weeks, the Wall Street Journal has revealed a study that shows that Facebook and Instagram are disrupting the body image and psychology of young girls. Following this news, Pratiti Raychoudhury, one of the top executives of Facebook, said in a statement that the research results were misinterpreted and that the research in question was not that important, and that the company was trying to help young girls, especially, to have the best experience.
Finally, the Wall Street Journal, by accessing Facebook’s internal correspondence and some documents, revealed its plans on how Facebook is trying to make small children and even babies users. After all these scandals, Facebook Head of Global Security Antigone Davis testified to the US Senate.
“We help young people in a positive way”
A new one has been added to the previously unconvincing Polyannaist statements from Facebook. Speaking to the US Senate, Facebook Global Security President Antigone Davis stated that they are helping young people in a positive way, saying, “We are doing this research to optimize the platform to minimize the bad and maximize the good. We want our platforms to become a place for meaningful interactions with friends and family. “If people don’t feel safe, we can’t achieve this goal,” he said.
In the face of these statements, Senator Richard Blumenthal said that Facebook prefers the growth of its products to the well-being of children and young people. “We now know that he is defensively criminal and acts to protect his interests. He can’t hold himself accountable. The real question that bothers me is: we, the parents, or How can anyone trust Facebook?” made statements.
