its purpose is to literally be a social engineering / mass spying engine.

after the govt saw the success of myspace and its potential they got this zuckerburg guy and funded facebook. a portion of the funding went to purchase all the adspace on myspace which was replaced with the most annoying, flashing ads one could think of in order to drive users away. at the same time media started hyping facebook to get everyone to switch

fastforward a little and you are supposed to be using your real name and information in order to use facebook. They will ask for govt issued id to confirm this. they also need to have a working cell phone number on file. not a home phone, a cell phone so that they can track exactly who you are and where you are going.

facebook is the single largest feat of social engineering ever undertaken and is able to track exactly who you are, what you are doing and where you are at any given time using a combination of user details and location information supplied constantly by the facebook application that most people load onto their phones

in addition to this, here is what stallman thinks:

Also, facebook is constantly used by the US Gov't for social 'nudging'; the idea is that many of the accounts on facebook are actually bots. you will never know this by befriending the bots they act like normal people but are controlled by AI.

These bot accounts are used en masse to sway public opinion one way or another. By using a 'peer pressure' effect many people will fall in line with whatever they see their ''friends'' doing. Research 'social media nudging' this is a real thing.

there is also the issue of political censorship and redirection. forget your political orientation for a moment; during the 2016 us election cycle when facebook began offering the 'report fake news' feature, there were certain news revenues that this feature was not available for. You could report that fox, or drudge report was fake news but not CNN. Regardless of your political orientation this was an extremely biased practice.

also, research the facebook shadowbanning phenomnon. facebook (and twitter) began socalled shadowbanning on user accounts it claimed violated its terms of use. This in reality equated to the shadowbanning of accounts based upon political motivation while ignoring the thousands of accounts that were sharing child pornography openly on the site (in certain countries in south america this is technically not illegal). Accounts included in this shadowbanning include Malik Obama, Barack Obama's brother and an ardent trump supporter.

This isnt to say you should be outraged if your a republican, both political parties are tards.

The point of this is that Facebook is actively used to spy on its users and is a new form of govt propoganda

I don't think it's just monitoring. See NodeXL or systems like Decision Science. Large companies seem to have unlimited Fascistbook data access. If mere criminals can socially engineer events like accidents I wonder what large companies could do.
