Facebook Has A Big, Terrifying Dream To Be The Communication Backbone For The Western World

Description

Before Facebook acquired WhatsApp, the company was for a lot of its users, not a "must-have" service. But delete it from your life, and you won't be much worse off. The exception might be the businesses which rely on Facebook to advertise their wares. Post-WhatsApp though, Facebook is much closer to becoming what we might call a fundamental service. If WhatsApp disappeared from the world, it would have a negative impact on people's lives. In a lengthy blog on Wednesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg leaned into the idea of turning Facebook into a fundamental business. That is, a business that would become essential to people's daily lives because it is practically, and not just emotionally, useful.

Trump May Need To Scrounge For Money As Big Business Freezes Him Out

CNN reports a growing number of businesses suddenly want very little to do with Trump after he incited a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol. Twitter and Facebook banned Trump indefinitely, and Stripe is no longer processing credit card payments for his campaign. Shopify stopped operating online stores for the Trump Organization and the campaign and the PGA is pulling a major golf tournament from a Trump resort.

Buttigieg Slams Trump Jr. For Saying COVID-19 Deaths Are 'Almost Nothing'

Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg lashed out at the eldest son of President Donald Trump on Friday. On Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. falsely minimized the deaths related to coronavirus, telling Fox News the Trump administration had the pandemic under control. Cases and deaths from the novel coronavirus in the US are rising rapidly. The US broke its single-day coronavirus case record last week with over 88,000 new COVID-19 cases in a single day, in addition to over 1,000 deaths. Business Insider reports Buttigieg criticized Trump Jr. for being 'out of touch' when he said US coronavirus deaths are down to 'almost nothing.'
