Mark Zuckerberg emerged from his walk-in T-shirt closet last week to make a stunning announcement: Facebook will be changing its name.
Facebook as we understand it today wasn't really launched until 2006, when it introduced the news feed and nearly melted down the Internet in the process.
In the movie "The Social Network," the Sean Parker character, summing up Facebook's ambition, says, "We lived on farms, then we lived in cities, and now we're going to live on the Internet!" What none of these guys ever asked was whether we could live on the Internet, let alone whether we should.
My conservative friends rightly complain that Facebook is trying to censor them.
Two whistleblowers have emerged with details of just how harmful Facebook understands its own products to be.
For all the good Facebook has admittedly done, it's simply undeniable that right now a big part of the Zuckerberg legacy is to have unleashed forces he can't control.
These problems, as internal Facebook documents show, are fundamental, tied to core social media features like the news feed and like button, which Zuck is loathe to change.
