LEAKED FACEBOOK 'UGLY TRUTH' MEMO about the social network’s growth sparks controversy.
“We connect people. Period. That’s why all the work we do in growth is justified. All the questionable contact importing practices. All the subtle language that helps people stay searchable by friends. All of the work we do to bring more communication in. The work we will likely have to do in China some day. All of it,” Bosworth wrote in the memo, according to Buzzfeed.

“So we connect more people,” he wrote elsewhere in the note. “That can be bad if they make it negative. Maybe it costs someone a life by exposing someone to bullies.

“Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools,” Bosworth added. “The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is *de facto* good."

If you use Facebook, you're not a customer; you'e a product. And there's no warranty to protect you from the consequences.
