Mark Zuckerberg says the future of Facebook is messaging, not social media

Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks at the annual Facebook developers conference in San Jose, California, in 2017.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.Social media may be past its peak, and the latest person to call it is Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Increasingly, people"want to connect privately in the digital equivalent of the living room," and less in an online"town square," and that will affect the future of the company, Zuckerberg said in aFacebook's shift in corporate focus, which Zuckerberg said would happen over a few years, would mean less sharing on services like Facebook and Instagram and more private messages that cannot be seen by anyone else, including by people at the company, because they’d be...

“We're focused on making both of these apps faster, simpler, more private and more secure, including with end-to-end encryption,” he added. “We then plan to add more ways to interact privately with your friends, groups, and businesses.”

Facebook sucks

DeleteFacebook

If there are people who really want or need to “..connect privately in the digital equivalent of the living room..”, they are likely lonely, depressed, or cheating. A better option would be to get off Facebook completey and focus on the real people & relationships in their lives.

Who cares. Get off Facebook.

Zuckerberg 😡 Tell him to take down the website!!!!

So that's his excuse for blocking people's sharing feature

How about stopping the Russians from screwing up free elections and electing crooks? Just a thought.

I’m starting a social media page called FacePalm.

Not private to his company though

We have and idea, JUST STAY OUT OF OUR STUFF !! !!

Gee, what could go wrong with that strategy?

So he’s removing the social part? Why not fix it instead? FacePlantBook is coming soon.

I think that's a dumb idea but ok. The point of social media is to connect with people from all over the world. Not be private unless you want your profile to be private.

facebook went downhill when they allowed business and groups.

FB represents the dumbing down of America through mothers who use FB for medical advice to not vaccinate their kids and young adults/teens taking instruction on challenges to eat laundry soap, jump out of moving cars to dance, and commiting suicide. What a profitable business.

We got your friends, now we're coming for your dreams.

People aren't on fb for private experiences.

Guy who only knows codes is now an expert on human emotion and psychology. Ha.

Nothing seems private online!!

How about just getting rid of it?

All that money and still doesn't own any blood.

Means more ads and more nonsense 5 min videos that no one asked for?
