   Remember when Facebook was a nice place to talk to your friends,and not an arm of the American state whipping up hatred, spreading misinformation, and interfering with elections?

   To those who work there, I'd be fascinated to hear an explanation that isn't about dollars.

      I genuinely cant remember that - maybe there was a golden age before it went international but I pretty much used to use fb only for consuming political rage bait (luckily i stopped many years ago)

         It was pretty great until around 2010 when it was still a social network rather than social media.
