When some Facebook users log into their accounts, a poll appears under the heading "We'd like to do better" with a statement that says "Please agree or disagree with the following statement: Facebook is good for the world." Facebook spokesperson Lisa Stratton told CBC News that the company has been doing these surveys since 2015 and this specific question is not new. "Like any other company that surveys its users, the information from these surveys helps us hear people's feedback in order to improve their experience on Facebook," she said. Ives says Facebook and Zuckerberg are in a major period of "hand-holding." "Facebook is foremost a business and must balance the needs of advertisers with those of its users," he said.
