A senior executive at Facebook has added to the social media firm’s current serious woes by claiming, in a memo in 2016 that was leaked, that anything that helped his employer grow was good, even if it helped terror attacks, or was on the back of ethically dubious data practices. The most important thing, claimed Andrew Bosworth was connecting people and ensuring the growth of the company.

The utterly stupid comments have been taken by many to show the real and misguided mindset of a company that is having a number of crises, including the data of 50 million Facebook customers being harvested and used without their permission, and Facebook making a profit running scam ads and hate material.
