Today we are announcing Facebook 2017 Year in Review highlighting the top ways people are being exploited on Facebook subsidiaries. Unsurprisingly, most of them are pretty depressing, confirming what we all already knew: the year 2017 was pretty terrible on Facebook services.

Facebook continues his journey on spreading disinformation and censorship, threatening journalism and democracy, collecting private data of billions of people, running massive psychology experiments and attacking the open web.
