I am very genuinely curious about whether we disagree on the "Facebook is a bad company" part or not.

And if you think FB is not a bad company. Can the below examples convince you?

If the below examples cannot convince you. Where do you disagree and where do you think I am wrong?

I know this could be way too real for some folks to answer. Especially for folks who use FB for a living (marketing etc) and for FB employees. So hopefully I can encourage some genuine conversations. :)
