Cynical exploitation of broken window fallacy
company's impact on the global economy "enabled" the creation of 4.5 million jobs in 2014.
I smell a hidden assumption that were it not for FB those 4.5 million people would not do anything productive at all. The real value of FB, accepting the 4.5 million FB-related jobs as an axiom, is the difference between the value generated by all these men and women doing FB-related stuff and the most valuable of realistic alternative. At this point I am not sure this difference would be positive.
