It seems like some are forgetting the near 6000 word 'manifesto' where this was all outlined by Mark.

"In times like these, the most important thing we at Facebook can do is develop the social infrastructure... "

"For the past decade, Facebook has focused on connecting friends and families. With that foundation, our next focus will be developing the social infrastructure for community -- for supporting us, for keeping us safe, for informing us, for civic engagement,"

" I have long expected more organizations and startups to build health and safety tools using technology, and I have been surprised by how little of what must be built has even been attempted. There is a real opportunity to build global safety infrastructure, and I have directed Facebook to invest more and more resources into serving this need."

This is barely a year old. Did he not lay out a vision where FB powered our civic, social & community services?
