The whole world is waiting for Facebook's response to the outages that afflicted the system the other day and would also like to think there is an official response forthcoming to the Frances Haugen revelations at some time in the near future. How does your parish church community feel about the role of FB in influencing the teens?

Thanks for your email request for clarification on this subject, received from Northampton CT on the 6th October 2021. On the 4th October 2021, 3 platforms experienced the brunt of difficulties, what are called outages of the systems, and so from 930am to 1600pm California Time on the 4th October, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, all experienced outages. Adversely affected also were the platforms of Tinder and Netflix and Zoom. Little or no explanation was offered by the FB Team, maybe because the system was down, but it is rumoured that they resurfaced on Twitter to explain, and it is thought that the outages occurred when engineers gaining access to the FB building accidentally deleted the mastercodes of the servers while doing some upgrading work. Not even technicians's passes were working that day. Frances Haugen, who once worked at the FB buildings and while working there also downloaded about 10,000 sub secreto documents of the Firm before stealing away into the Californian woke sunshine, is a whistleblower who has been testifying to a Senate Committee on Big Tech and the Teen industry. To date the lawyers of FB have not appeared to respond to the concerns of the senate. The parish community does not comment on High-Tech cases at least while they are sub iudice, but notes with the FB legal team that most of the users who freely go on their platforms do so with full deliberation and full consent, and most post their own materiellen thereto, so they are their own publishers on those platforms - editorial control is vested in the subject user and not on the PFP or platform facility provider, unless the user objectively offends CSGs or community standards guidelines. Technically that means that FB and other internet platform providers are private companies and not tax-payer funded state actors, so not publishers, merely providers. The self-publicist subject or SBS redounds to the subject. The subject is captain of his/her own boat.
