"You Are Programmed" Facebook executive Chamath Palihapitiya
9
Palihapitiya was an early senior executive at Facebook, joining the company in 2007 and leaving in 2011.
In November 2017, Palihapitiya said that, for ethical reasons, he regretted helping Facebook to become the largest social media platform. He said:
"[t]he short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that we have created are destroying how society works: no civil discourse, no collaboration, misinformation, mistruth and it's not an American problem. This is not about Russian ads. This is a global problem. Facebooks algorithms are a threat to democracy. It is eroding the core foundations of how people behave by and between each other."
