Facebook will not recover with Mark Zuckerberg
To suggest Facebook has a problem would be an understatement. Unfortunately, we have been reporting on the difficulties of what was once a great social network for years. When you think about it, it's hard to believe that Facebook enjoyed such high popularity and image just over a decade ago, and many of the individuals who now refuse to use the social network did so avidly back then.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal, with the use and abuse of data from social network users to decisively affect various election processes, can be seen as the beginning of the end, meaning the end of its chronic crisis of reputation. A scandal that is still unfolding in court, with open proceedings attempting to put Mark Zuckerberg to trial to examine his potential liability.
2021 was also a bad year for Facebook, to the point where the firm chose to change its name to Meta, attempting to distance the rest of its business lines as far as possible from the image of the social network.
Something inconceivable a few years ago, but now a vital safeguard. However, because Meta, the corporation's new identity, still carries much of Facebook's baggage, the scope of this move would have been rather limited.
Thus, for many, Facebook is a problem for Mark Zukerberg, but as we can see in Business Insider, there are those who propose flipping the equation, which seems fairly reasonable.
And we're not talking about any old voice here. Frances Haugen, a name you may recognize, believes that Mark Zuckerberg is an issue for Facebook. She was the principal person responsible for the leak of internal Facebook material, and paperwork that she took when she left the firm.
As a result of these revelations, those responsible for the company have been forced to give many explanations, and many people have reconsidered their relationship with the social network, because, according to their testimony, Facebook would have failed to fulfill its own commitments.
The problem, according to Frances Haugen, is that Zuckerberg believes Facebook is an accurate mirror of society, which ignores the use that many experts on intoxication and manipulation have learned to put it.
And this is worsened by his position in decision-making, because his opinion carries a crushing quantitative weight of 56 percent, implying that he always acts according to his personal criteria.
As a result, he believes that if Zuckerberg remains at the helm, Facebook will be unable to climb out of the hole it has been in for several years. Of course, waiting for him to decide to withdraw his role in decision-making seems inconceivable now, especially given his point of view.
However, even if you want to stay indoors, you should think about limiting the weight of your vote in decision-making.
