A Horror Story?

Sometimes a company title spells out the terrors that await. Other times it will tell you how to avoid really dangerous mayhem.

Over a dozen news organizations published reports on Facebook’s internal leaked documents. They detail what the company knew about its role in radicalizing users, employees’ questions about the impact of its core features, and its struggles to curb dangerous content internationally. Then Facebook changed its name to Meta.

The platform doesn’t need a new name, it needs plastic surgery and a facelift. While some were hoping would create digital democracy, it may have evolved into a real horror, in which phonies rule, and may God help us all.
