    Is it unfair I want to blame Facebook specifically? They're the trend setters. They lied about video metrics so other platforms pivoted to video and were wondering why they didn't see the same financial success.

    "Zhang knew that this was not a tale that Facebook wanted her to tell, so when she hit publish, she also launched a password-protected website with a copy of the memo and provided the link and password to Facebook employees. Not only did Facebook temporarily delete the post internally, the company also contacted Zhang’s hosting service and domain registrar and forced her website offline."

    Nice. Can you guys at fb please explain this nice little piece of assholery?
