Mark Zuckerberg Sets 2018’s Mission: Fixin’ Facebook
In the spirit of Kick‑the‑New‑Year‑Ball, Facebook magnate Mark Zuckerberg has rolled out his bold agenda for 2018. Think of it as the CEO’s “fixed‑action” set: ditch the nonsense, champion safety, and make scrolling worth it.
December 2017, Mark’s “Tie‑Every‑Day” Moment
Back in 2009, Zuckerberg strutted a neck‑tie each day to cement the idea that even in a slump, Facebook needed to profit. That was the first of many New Year rituals: a promise to cheat the universe and keep business afloat.
New Year’s Post (the Vlog Edition)
- “Feels like that first year again, just with a lot more people disagreeing.”
- “The world’s anxious, split, and Facebook’s gotta step up.”
- “I’m all in for killing the mess: hate, abuse, and that pesky foreign meddling.”
Bottom line? Zuckerberg vows to tighten up policies and stop the misuse of our tools. “We can’t stop every mistake, sure,” he says, “but we’ll stop doing too many wrong calls.”
Assemble the Dream Team
Zuckerberg plans to pull together a crew of political junkies, civic buffs, media wizards, and tech mavericks. Their job? Drag the bad stuff out of the feed and put cool, safe space where folks can actually learn something.
Fighting the “Fake News Bandwagon”
Tech giants are on the hook once more for letting bogus stories roam free—especially those steered by Russia. The 2016 U.S. election apron was a painful reminder that we’re living in a world where info can be weaponized.
“We think tech should level the playing field,” Zuckerberg muses. “But the thing is, the same power that gives us a voice also lets the big firms—and governments—watch us.”
Encryption & Digital Cash: Got to Keep the Power in the People’s Pocket
He points to cryptography and crypto‑currencies as the future odds‑ball. “If we can harness these trends right,” he says, “we can give Facebook’s users real authority back into their hands—without the government or a tech titan standing in the way.”
So there you have it: Mark’s 2018 playbook is all about making the platform safe, reliable, and price‑worthy. Because if your friend just uploaded a meme about the chicken that flips the light bulb, that’s fine; but if anyone wants to build furniture out of the Misuse Myth, that’s a story we’re rewriting.
