“Based on this, we’re making a major change to how we build Facebook. I’m changing the goal I give our product teams from focusing on helping you find relevant content to help you have more meaningful social interactions. We started making changes in this direction last year, but it will take months for this new focus to make its way through all our products.”
“As we roll this out, you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media.”
