Facebook Antitrust examination in Washington It is in the second week. Along with the usual melts of impenetrable legalists, which dominate in this proceeding, in advance issued by the Federal US Trade Commission, several enlightening jewels emerged. How about the fact that the finish line and general director of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg raised the idea of removing the list of friends of each Facebook user? Yes, really.
During the E -Maili series starting in 2022 and Collected from court documents by TechCrunchZuckerberg discussed his fears about the decreasing importance of Facebook. “Although the involvement of the FB application is stable in many places, it seems that its cultural importance is decreasing quickly,” Zuckerberg called.

“One of the potentially crazy ideas is to consider wiping the charts of all and start again. This obviously bears the risk that if we did it, many people will simply not rebuild the charts or are less involved, so if we wanted to consider it, we will have to build an experiment and test it in a smaller country to lead to a positive result.
“I think that we would have to do something relatively extreme to move the needle and I do not think that petite things such as spring cleaning flows would move the needle” – continued Zuckerberg.
Desperate funds, at least. But it seems that Facebook is in the face of desperate times.
“It is hefty weight to ask someone recent as a friend,” Zuckerberg regretted. “Most of the time I meet someone or I’m interested in someone, I just want to follow him first, but don’t ask about her.”
After humming a list of friends, the next step would be to replace friendships with observed. “The way of this solution would be fully accepting the following.
Until now, Facebook has not made this jump of faith to track, not friendship, not to mention wiping lists of friends of all. But certainly he says something that is even considered such extreme means.
