Starting to see a lot of backlash against Facebook, I know there always has been but I feel like saying that one works at Facebook is no longer braggable when ones conversation starts moving into media and information.

Being so close to social is a liability for Facebook more than other ad companies. Whereas Google probably also sold ads to the Russians, they did it in a way that wasn't as intermingled with personal happenings. There is a conflict of interest in selling ads to customers who you've not done sufficient due diligence. And if a company is going to be careless, doing it in people's living rooms will piss them off more.
