Please read through the short New Yorker article (https://www.newyorker.com/science/elements/how-to-fix-facebook) and create a blog post with your reaction (approximately 300 words). You might consider answering one or more of the following questions:

Has the fracas over Facebook changed the way you use of the site? Altered your level of trust in the information you read on FB or your trust that your private information will remain private?

Do you have confidence in Facebook’s mission to “make the world more open and connected”?

How do you feel about the question of whether FB is a software company or a social institution? Are you a FB user or a FB customer?

What do you say to the calls for the Big Four in Big Tech (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google) to be broken up? What are the advantages of such a move? The disadvantages?

Finally, the writers in the New Yorker piece ask many questions in each of their short sections. You can choose to write a blog post that responds to any one of those questions.

I’m interested in your perspectives on these issues; you are the leaders who will help shape how these powerful big tech companies continue to influence our economy and our society.
