Facebook Changed Mission Statement, Wants to Help Bring People Together

Published on: 23 Jun, 2017

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) a new mission statement: "To give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together." The social media giant, like many other major tech companies, is having a very strong year in the stock market. The shares of the company increased in value by more 34% year to date.

Facebook recent data shows that it has more than 1.9 billion monthly users. It has also reported $8 billion in revenue last quarter, the vast majority of which was from advertising.

The company’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, talked about several important political and social issues in an interview with CNN Tech. Zuckerberg acknowledged that simply connecting people online isn’t enough. "We used to have a sense that if we could just do those things, then that would make a lot of the things in the world better by themselves," Zuckerberg told CNN Tech. "But now we realize that we need to do more too. It's important to give people a voice, to get a diversity of opinions out there, but on top of that, you also need to do this work of building common ground so that way we can all move forward together."

"A lot of what we can do is to help create a more civil and productive debate on some of the bigger issues as well," Zuckerberg added.

There are actually plenty of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a great level to convey up. I supply the thoughts above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where an important factor will probably be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged round issues like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly recognized as a good game.

I抦 impressed, I have to say. Actually not often do I encounter a weblog that抯 both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you could have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not enough individuals are speaking intelligently about. I'm very glad that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any means you can take away me from that service? Thanks!
