Period. Thats why all the work we do in growth is justified,\u201d the memo says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day. All of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a reaction, Bosworth said the memo was designed to bolster discussion in the company, but distanced himself from the contents, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-facebook-zuckerberg\/zuckerberg-disavows-memo-saying-all-user-growth-is-good-idUSKBN1H602S\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoz is a talented leader who says many provocative things. This was one that most people at Facebook including myself disagreed with strongly. Weve never believed the ends justify the means,\u201d Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg added in a statement, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-facebook-zuckerberg\/zuckerberg-disavows-memo-saying-all-user-growth-is-good-idUSKBN1H602S\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The memo was revealed as Facebook reels from a broader controversy about alleged misuse of data culled on its site for political purposes. The site has vowed to broaden its fact-checking tools to also examine photos and videos on the site, and specifically target \u201cpages of foreign origin that are distributing civic content (inauthentically),\u201d according to Facebook representatives who briefed reporters during a call in the United States Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWere starting in France with the AFP and will be scaling to more countries and partners soon,\u201d Tessa Lyons, a Facebook product manager, said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.fb.com\/news\/2018\/03\/hard-questions-election-security\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The fact-checking initiative is designed to beef up Facebooks resilience, especially around elections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/facebook-memo-flags-ugly-data-collection-practices\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebooks data collection practices and certain \u201cquestionabl..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70683,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
