Facebook doesn't care if it kills people

Facebook believes murder is justified for its own growth. Lovely. But obviously this was just to 'be provocative', because that's definitely a normal thing to propose.

A Facebook executive's memo that claimed the "ugly truth" was that anything it did to grow was justified has been made public, embarrassing the company. The 2016 post said that this applied even if it meant people might die as a result of bullying or terrorism. Both the author and the company's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, have denied they actually believe the sentiment.
