Last night in an interview with CNN , Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a major service to the large social medium troupe on earth , one that might finally fix many of the lurk issues its leadership has been hesitant to address .
I ’m kidding , it ’s a new deputation statement .
“ To give people the power to build community of interests and bring the world nearer together , ” will be the new delimit principle of the company , currently valuate at $ 440 billion . The former mission affirmation was : “ to give people the world power to share and make the populace more open and connected . ”
Here are the public that are the same in those two opinion : To , give , people , the , mogul , to , and , the , human race .
ramp up ” and “ make ” are refer terms deployed similarly here , as are “ connect[ed ] ” and “ closer together . ” A new mission statement is purely cosmetic , but here ’s where the Facebook of yesterday differs from next - contemporaries Facebook :
Now : residential district
Before : sharing , openness
Facebook is decidedly an enemy of the exposed connection , and sharing without consideration is a declamatory part of what made the platform a well - oiled misinformation political machine . The opening move to focus on community will take the form of Facebook Groups , fit in to Zuckerberg , a feature which is alreadyseven age old . concord to CNN , a billion people currently use Groups . Zuckerberg believe the company has “ a good jibe within five years or so to get to this destination of connecting a billion people to meaningful community . ”
One rendition of this exchange is that Facebook ’s chief executive officer is doubling down on a mathematical product feature he does n’t study particularly meaningful at the second , despite having rich fourth dimension to make .
Another is that nothing newsworthy came out of a intemperately scripted audience with a CEO other than a few new buzzwords to slap on a shambolic but fantastically wealthy company .
