When You’re Not Just the Product on Facebook, but the Manager
Facebook wants more of its users to join "meaningful groups," but there can be questionable incentives for the people running them.
In the near future, if Facebook fulfills its stated goal, a billion people will be part of a “meaningful group” on the service, up from 200 million now. By the company’s definition, a meaningful group is a Facebook group that becomes part of a person’s real-life support network. People come to depend on these groups, and none more so than the addiction support groups.
These groups have been highlighted by Facebook.
