Despite recent moves to strengthen social connections, Facebook's real agenda and core DNA is to extract user data and make more money by keeping users addicted

Facebook's (much deserved) media nightmare continued this week when it came under criticism for spamming members who signed up for two-factor authentication. Tweets: @mdudas , @stevesi , @jason_kint , and @jguynn Tweets: Mike Dudas / @mdudas : “Facebook's DNA is that of a social platform addicted to growth and engagement. At its very core, every policy, every decision, every strategy is based on growth (at any cost) and engagement (at any cost).” ~ @om http://om.co/... @stevesi : “The #1 reason Facebook won't ever change” some important perspective from @om. http://om.co/... Jason Kint / @jason_kint : Facebook's “real agenda is to extract user data — not strengthen connections. Just read their 10k filing and you'll see it in black and white.” http://twitter.com/... Jessica Guynn / @jguynn : The bottom line on Facebook from @om: “Facebook is about making money by keeping us addicted to Facebook. It always has been — and that's why all of our angst and headlines are not going to change a damn thing.” http://om.co/...
