The idea that a Facebook run by the shareholders would be a kinder, gentler, less evil company than the current iteration of FB is laughably naive. When shareholders revolt against management it’s almost always because they want the company to be more ruthless about cost cutting and boosting profits at the expense of customers and employees. You really believe that a Carl Icahn type is going to spend billions of dollars buying up a bunch of shares just to pressure Facebook into being more socially responsible?


Shhhh, you're pulling back the curtain and forcing the keyboard social justice warriors to think for themselves. Not very nice.
