Building 8, who is responsible for this project, is under the direction of the same person who wrote the memo about "questionable practices", incidental deaths and "connecting people".

The previous director quit after less than two years. There are videos on YouTube of motivational speeches for Building 8 projects. I watched one; it felt like cult-like.

One of these Building 8 projects, Aloha - a video chat device, was set to launch next month but they have sidelined it, for obvious reasons.

Apparently they took surveys and users did not trust FB; they were worried the device would be used to spy on them.

Then they considered marketing it as "a device for letting the elderly easily communicate with their families." They also considered selling it under a name other than Facebook.
