The Cambridge Analytica thing happened in 2018. I think the point is that Facebook has been a bad platform for awhile now and these recent articles don’t do justice to their history and appear extremely inflammatory as a result.
Yeah, and 1. Even in 2018 there was only like 25% more searches compared to the 2012 and 2025 peak of 100% more 2. TechCrunch covered #deletefacebook when that happened anyways 3. 2012 was “The Year Facebook Finally Tried to Make Some Money”. I don’t see what people mean by “not doing justice”, as TechCrunch seems to be covering how to delete Facebook when people want to delete Facebook.
Yeah. I don’t disagree with that. But I think it’s rather more about (from what I can see in the original comment) not the tech run h media coverage, but the idea that tech crunch runs lots of articles about meta and Facebook, not all of them aimed at the problems with the platform and there is no cohesion (in each of these posts), explaining each time they have before given info on leaving Facebook and the important events that lead them to do so.
The article doesn’t really start off with a “haven’t we been here before”, or anything acknowledging what came before. Perhaps the last their complaint.

Could say it’s always been bad given the story behind it being created.
