[In his own testimony, Zuckerberg said that
if something is of value, "people tend to use it more."

Lanier noted that people who are
addicted to something also
tend to increase their use.

"I don't know what to say
to that," Zuckerberg replied.
"I think that may be true,
but I don't know if that applies here."]

…I’m not sure that many of those parents are agreeing with him on the definition of ‘value’…it’s difficult to think of something in a high/valuable regard if it’s felt that it’s played a part in taking their child’s life…

Things on the internet can be addictive and when your user base is over 1 billion, statistically, a percentage will be addicted

…absolutely I agree, bots…but when there are parents whose children have taken their own lives and feel it linked to that addiction, I can’t imagine how they must feel in him describing it in such a way…’something of value’….so cold about the product he’s putting out there for addiction and the impact on lives…

Facebook is a dreadful place

Its full of people sharing their every move ( or movement !) or endless fake/ acted/ scripted clips presenting as either funny or shocking - they are neither .
