Of Facebook Anti Trust trial in Washington DC It is in the second week. And as usual for irreparable legalists who dominate such actions, some enlightened gems have emerged from the mountain of paperwork issued by the US Federal Trade Commission. About the fact that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook and Facebook, offered the idea of deleting the list of friends of every Facebook user? Yes, really.
During a series of emails starting in 2022 and Collect from judicial documents through Tech CrunchZuckerberg discussed his fears about the falling of Facebook. “Although the FB app’s engagement is stable in many places, it seems that its cultural compatibility is decreasing rapidly.”
The solution? Delete your friends list and introduce a new structure around follow -up instead of friendship. “Friendship still feels out of the vogue for at least a few reasons,” he said. At first, many friends of the people are graphs and are not full of people they want to hear or contact them. “
“A potentially crazy idea is to consider eliminating and resuming everyone’s graphs. It clearly poses that if we do so, many people will not just rebuild their graph or become less busy, so if we want to consider it a small country, we will have a small result.
Zuckerberg added, “I think we will need to do such a relatively extrame to move the needle and I don’t think small things like spring cleaning flow will move to the needle.”
Desperate measures, minimal. But then it looks like Facebook is facing a disappointing time.
“Zuckerberg said,” As a friend, someone feels heavyweight to request a new one. “” Most of the time when I meet someone or take an interest in someone I just want to follow them but don’t ask some of them. “
Therefore, after pushing your friends list, the next step has to be changed with the following. Zuckerberg said, “The way to reform it is to be fully adopted. If we want to do this, I do not think it would be enough to support it just to follow public accounts. I think we will have to follow private accounts even with friendship.”
So far, Facebook has not made this jump of faith instead of friendship, there is no objection to eliminating everyone’s friends. But it certainly says that such actions are being considered.
