CUBA WILL SUE FACEBOOK
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said the United States was behind human and civil rights protests planned on Facebook for November 15. According to Reuters, dissidents created a Facebook group called Archipielago with 31,501 members, more than half of whom reside in Cuba.
"Facebook could be sued for anti-Cuban actions," Rodriguez said, accusing those dissidents of living in the United States but changing their location to have a presence in Cuba.
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 makes society worse.
According to a recent survey by CNN and SSRN - a market research company, about three-quarters of the 1,004 adults who participated in the survey, regardless of gender, age, or race, believe that the social network Facebook makes American society worse.
Specifically, 76% of respondents said Facebook makes society worse; 11% believe Facebook makes American society better; and the remaining 13% said Facebook makes society neither better nor worse. Of the 76% who rated the social network negatively, 55% said the fault lies mainly with the way users use Facebook, while 45% said the fault lies with the way Facebook operates.

Among those who use Facebook at least a few times a month, 54% say Facebook recommends posts they find offensive; 65% of those under 35 who regularly use Facebook say they have seen offensive content recommended by Facebook.
A CNN survey found that about 53% of people think the federal government should increase regulation of Facebook; 11% oppose increased intervention; 35% think there should be no change. About 38% of survey participants do not trust large technology companies like Google, Facebook or Amazon to do what is best for users.
