The way human social order works isn't Facebook's fault, but the persistent outright denial about its most basic tenets is an issue, no?

Empowering "everyone" to share "anything" with anyone would actually be.. on the nihilist side. Anyway, ignore hype, FB doesn't do this.

"An interconnected, tolerant world where people build bridges" is a value. OTOH the *affordance* of easy bridges can lead to awful things.

Problem is that complex, messy human reality and its (not that secret) dynamics are overlooked in favor of projecting vague values to tools.

Where I point out "connect everyone" sounds great but it is far from an unalloyed pure good. http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/04/13/474011009/facebooks-new-master-plan-kill-other-apps …pic.twitter.com/wakTCZnmpr

Global connectivity & social media are among the most potent historical rearrangements of public and private life. Real power, real issues.
