Take Back Your Social Media

Facebook: From Connecting People to Controlling Them

Facebook began as a revolutionary platform, promising to bring the world closer together. Over time, however, the platform has drifted far from its original mission, prioritizing profit over people.

• Algorithmic Manipulation: Facebook’s algorithms are designed to maximize engagement, often at the cost of user well-being. The platform prioritizes content that triggers strong emotional reactions, such as outrage or fear, leading to an environment where misinformation spreads like wildfire. This manipulation has profound effects on public discourse and individual mental health, as users are constantly fed polarizing content that reinforces existing biases.
• Data Exploitation: Facebook’s business model is built on data. Every interaction—whether it’s liking a post, sharing a video, or simply lingering on a photo—is meticulously tracked and analyzed. This data is then sold to advertisers, who use it to target users with increasingly personalized ads. But it’s not just advertisers who benefit—Facebook itself uses this data to keep you on the platform as long as possible, showing you content designed to keep you engaged, even if it means sacrificing your privacy.
• Erosion of Trust: Scandals like Cambridge Analytica have highlighted the risks of Facebook’s data practices. Users have learned that their personal information can be weaponized to manipulate elections, spread disinformation, and create societal division. Trust in Facebook has plummeted, as users realize they are not the customers but the product being sold.
