I think there's only one good thing Facebook has done and that's allow people who have existing offline relationships to rekindle those relationships if they've lost touch with people. But I think, in every other context, Facebook has done much more bad than good. It is a time suck, it fuels political division, it's designed to sell things to people that they don't need, it violates our privacy and then weaponizes the information that it gathers to keep us glued to the screen. It fuels a very unhealthy reliance on other people for social approval. It's a portal to bullying and ostracism.. the list goes on."

Excerpt from Adweek -- "'Those are not brands that are interested in managing a prestigious image,' said Tom Meyvis, professor of marketing at the Stern School of Business at New York University.
