Facebook (specifically Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Zuckerberg) knew that Russians were manipulating American voters in June of 2016, and not only did they abstain from trying to stop the blatant manipulation, they denied it was happening at all. They lied. The entire platform is designed for exactly this sort of manipulation. Leave now.

Update: Deleted the account on March 23rd; because:
1) I want more in exchange for the incredible value Facebook derives from data about me
2) I want Facebook to do more to prevent the spread of misinformation and fake news
Since there is no incentive for Facebook to ever do either of the above, I am done.
