Recommendation

Love it or hate it, the social media platform Facebook – commonly used to share baby photos and vacations snaps – has played an undeniable role in the recent spread of “fake news,” the rise of the alt-right and the recruitment of terrorists online. To address people’s growing concerns and set out his vision for what Facebook should – and could – become, CEO Mark Zuckerberg penned a 5,000-word manifesto describing his dream to foster a better “global community.” He unpacks the company’s mission to build safe, informed, civilly engaged and inclusive communities, both online and off. getAbstract recommends Zuckerberg’s announcement to Facebook users and tech trendwatchers.

Take-Aways

  • With traditional “social infrastructure” on the decline, building “meaningful” communities, online and off, is more important than ever.
  • Facebook’s capacity to reach people worldwide in the event of a crisis and otherwise help to increase people’s safety will improve.
  • By limiting the sharing of sensationalist content and emboldening a variety of perspectives, Facebook aims to create a more informed community.
