Facebook has been continuously criticized in many countries.

CUBA WILL SUE FACEBOOK

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez claims that the United States is behind the planned human rights and civil rights protests on Facebook on November 15th. According to Reuters, dissidents created a Facebook group called Archipielago with 31,501 members, more than half of whom reside in Cuba.

"Facebook could absolutely be sued for its actions against Cuba," Rodriguez accused dissidents of living in the US but changing their location to project a Cuban presence.

To date, neither the US State Department, Facebook, nor the Archilpielago group's representative, dissident Yunior Garcia, have commented on Cuba's allegations.

Americans believe that Facebook is making society worse.

According to a recent survey by CNN and SSRN, a market research firm, approximately three-quarters of the 1,004 adults surveyed, regardless of gender, age, or race, believe that Facebook is making American society worse.

Specifically, 76% believe Facebook makes society worse; 11% believe Facebook makes American society better; and the remaining 13% believe Facebook neither makes society better nor worse. Of the 76% who have a negative view of the social network, 55% believe the fault lies primarily with how users use Facebook, while 45% believe the fault lies with how Facebook operates.

Among those who use Facebook at least a few times a month, 54% said Facebook suggests posts that they find offensive; 65% of those under 35 who regularly use Facebook said they have seen offensive content suggested by Facebook.

A CNN poll revealed that approximately 53% of respondents believe the federal government should strengthen its regulation of Facebook; 11% oppose increased intervention; and 35% believe no change is necessary. Around 38% of survey participants do not believe large tech companies like Google, Facebook, or Amazon will do what is best for their users.
