Dear design students,
Facebook makes its money by violating your privacy, the privacy of your family & your loved ones. Its business model is based on profiling you/exploiting that intimate knowledge for profit. Do you really want to help such a company?

At Facebook, you will learn decoration, not design. Decoration is taking an unethical business model (like profiling people to exploit them) and trying to mask the bitter taste/smell so it’s not rejected by the target audience. It’s about addicting them so they can be farmed.https://twitter.com/aral/status/937570250056400896 …

All design is influence, design without ethics is manipulation. It’s decoration.https://twitter.com/aral/status/937571068302196736 …

I know it may seem like the mainstream tech industry is fucked up (it is) but there are lots of companies that still sell products not people. Intern with them instead if you can and learn and practice design not decoration. See also: Ethical Design (https://ind.ie/ethical-design )https://twitter.com/aral/status/937571820559065093 …
