thrown out because of a group that now has gained all this popularity on Facebook.
You know, I don't think they thought about the fringes of what could happen.
They were just trying to get more money, more users, more advertisers, grow as fast as they can.
I mean, Mark Zuckerberg said it himself.
His theory was move fast and break stuff.
And he didn't care what broke as long as they were moving fast.
And clearly that has come back to haunt them now.
And I think in the coming year, I think we will see an even larger backlash, especially in the UK with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica and all of these data mining companies that influence us every day.
