Facebook gets a Facelift



Facebook Inc. rolled out a substantial redesign of its website and mobile app, as Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg seeks to address criticism of the social-media giant’s influence by nudging users toward different types of engagement and more private communication tools.
The end result is a platform with more emphasis on private groups and visual stories, and less on the News Feed where abusive content and polarization took root in recent years.   WSJ
Ubiquitous as air we breathe,
on Facebook all our infants teethe.
There's not a soul left on the earth
who doesn't know its woe and mirth.

But now great Zuckerberg proclaims
he won't be playing any games
with such false news and hate group posts
as used to haunt him like dark ghosts.

Facebook now has come of age
and breathes but tolerance each page;
a place where gentle people meet
to find respite from Trump and tweet. 

O won't you join us there as well,
from your Chromebook or your cell?
We would gladly take you in,
and demonstrate our brand new spin!
