Remember when Facebook unethically ran experiments to see if they could make people sad? We should have hanged the board of directors then.

I somehow hadn’t heard about that. Though I’m also not surprised.

I read this article when it was written in 2014, and it was the thing that made me delete my account. I was completely disgusted. I remember telling a friend about it the same day I read it, and they didn’t believe me, thought I was peddling a conspiracy theory, to the point that I had to find the article again to be sure I hadn’t imagined it. As far as I know, there were no consequences and no one was held accountable.
