Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Left-of-center CNBC said today that, “Former Facebook insiders have turned into some of its harshest critics”
- Facebook Co-founder Chris Hughes on Thursday called on regulators to break up the company.
- Other key critical former executives include Sean Parker, Chamath Palihapitiya and Alex Stamos.
Facebook Co-founder Chris Hughes on Thursday published an opinion piece for the New York Times critical of the company he helped create, calling for the breakup of the company saying “I do” think Facebook is dangerous.
It’s part of a growing trend that MHProNews has spotlighted, that include such odd couples as Senator Elizabeth Warren and President Donald J. Trump, among other voices that have raised concerns over the threat and power that the tech giants pose.
Here are some key former Facebook insiders who have criticized the company, per CNBC.
Sean Parker was Facebook’s president in its early days. He said at an Axios event in November 2017 that the thought process that went into developing Facebook in the early days was all about “How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?”
“The unintended consequences of a network when it grows to a billion or 2 billion people … it literally changes your relationship with society, with each other,” Parker said. “God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains.”
Chamath Palihapitiya, former vice president of platform and monetization and later user growth, told an audience at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in November 2017 that he felt “tremendous guilt” over Facebook.
“I think in the back, deep, deep recess of our minds we kind of knew something bad could happen,” Palihapitiya said. “I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works.”
Ouch.
Roger McNamee, starts off politely until he says “puts the lie” on the program advanced by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. McNamee is an early Facebook investor and mentor to Zuckerberg.
In an article and a later a book McNamee published called “Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe,” and he’s criticized the social network during marketing events for the book, calling the Facebook “a threat to democracy.”
Brian Acton, “WhatsApp co-founder, left Facebook in September 2017 after selling his startup to the social network in 2014 for $19 billion. After his departure, Acton contributed $50 million to the Signal Foundation, the organization that builds and maintains Signal, an encrypted messaging app that is an alternative to WhatsApp.” In March 2018, Acton tweeted #deletefacebook.
Tim Kendall, director of monetization, “spent $7 million to fund Moment, his startup that helps smartphone users better manage the time they spend on social media and their devices.” He told the Wall Street Journal that “I feel a little guilty about not anticipating some of the ramifications, even though I think that would have been really hard.” Kendall says he remains confident in Zuckerberg’s ability to fix Facebook.
Mark Luckie, strategic partner manager for influencers, spoke out against Facebook after leaving last November. Luckie, a black man, criticized the company saying Facebook had “a black people problem.”
Luckie said black Facebook users find their content removed without notice. Ironically, Facebook removed Luckie’s post on the topic before allowing it back later.
Alex Stamos, chief security officer, is a frequent critic among Facebook’s former executives. Since leaving in August, Stamos has compared Facebook’s culture to that of “Game of Thrones,” but has also defended the social media firm.
