In response to the plethora of issues plaguing Facebook, including the current outage and whistleblower revelations on 60 Minutes, Minds CEO Bill Ottman issued the following statement:
“On this day – the ultimate day of karma for Facebook – the platform has experienced a devastating trifecta of events including a mysterious outage of border gateway protocol (BGP) systems, a massive data hack, and a new whistleblower exposing intentionally manufactured social outrage. No network is immune to outages, but a majority of these major issues were preventable. Social network platforms need to be held to a higher standard and provide real transparency, decentralization, and less gathering of users’ personal data. These are the pillars that founded minds.com.”
