Meanwhile, striking discussions are already emerging on social media, at least the social media services that do work at the time of writing. For example, we see someone on Twitter mockingly say, “I love it when people complain about a FREE service that doesn’t work.” To which others delicately note that Facebook users pay with their personal data that they share on the platform. Facebook can use that data to sell targeted advertisements to companies.

Someone else notes that Facebook’s strategy and revenue model still doesn’t make you a customer. “You are not the customer, but Facebook’s product. It is the advertisers who have to complain,” notes the critical voice. What do you think of that statement? Let us know in the comments at the bottom of this article.
