The Death Of Facebook

[Bouncer]

In a report published Thursday by PlainSite, an independent research shop led by Aaron Greenspan, analysts calculated that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been regularly lying to investors and the public about the company's user metrics, and that the company could be overestimating the number of users by as much as 50%.

Facebook's fraudulent numbers hurt its customers (advertisers) by overstating the effectiveness of Facebook's product, the company said.

Fake accounts affect Facebook at its core in numerous ways:

*Its customers purchase advertising on Facebook based on the fact that it can supposedly target advertisements at more than 2 billion real human beings. To the extent that users aren’t real, companies are throwing their money down the drain.

*Fake accounts click on advertising at random, or “like” pages, to throw off antifraud algorithms. Fake accounts look real if they do not follow a clear pattern. This kind of activity defrauds advertisers, but rewards Facebook with revenue.

*Fake accounts often defraud other users on Facebook, through scams, fake news, extortion, and other forms of deception. Often, they can involve governments

It was only a matter of time before this would happen to FB.

Mainstream media and socialization these days is all about vlog/IG/Twitter/YouTube

I understand the lying they've done, but I also knew going into it, my information would so far be from private.

Nothing is private anymore; ever since we were empowered by the world wide web. WE fucked our own society.

Facebook Has 1 Billion Fake Accounts, Mark Zuckerberg ‘Greatest Con Man in History’

Facebook is lying when it claims it has more than 2 billion monthly users around the world. That’s what tech entrepreneur Aaron Greenspan ― a former Harvard classmate of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg ― alleges in a bombshell report.

“Facebook has been lying to the public about the scale of its problem with fake accounts, which likely exceed 50% of its network,” Greenspan posits in a damning 70-page research report entitled Reality Check.

“Its official metrics — many of which it has stopped reporting quarterly — are self-contradictory and even farcical.”

Agree. It's the same as paying extra for an outfit for your character in a game. Sad fuckers.

i doubt about the topic, social media is booming day by day more and more internet users are making their account on different social profiles, facebook has also seen massive users increase from past 5 years, many advertisers are using facebook to market their services and products.
