Why Meta Dropped 70 Percent

In this episode, we discuss Meta’s dramatic fall from the top, and the reasoning behind it. The company has surrendered 70 percent of its stock value over the past year — a huge reversal of fortune for investors who have grown increasingly disgruntled over CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

He has neglected Meta’s core business — originally embodied by the social media platform Facebook — as he pursues his Meta virtual reality dreams. How long can the company withstand his impractical stewardship? More from ColdFusion, an Australian-based online media company.

Delete Your Twitter Today

The Twitter and Facebook hearings last week in Congress were a bust. The Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, and Facebook’s chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee, whose members seemed too old or ill-informed to make much use of the opportunity. In the aftermath of the hearing, Twitter banned Alex Jones. Computing Forever says we should fight fire with fire, and all delete our Twitter accounts.

We’re not sure we’d advocate that, with President Donald Trump using Twitter to communicate with his supporters. But we certainly would like to see the president take his followers to another social media site that does not practice gross censorship. Dorsey and his ilk are out of line, and need to be taught a big lesson.
