Facebook Apologizes for Pain Caused by ‘Year in Review’ Posts

It's probably tough to be the company that billions of people use (no sympathy though). I can see at least two valid responses:

1. If you don't like it, you don't have to look at it.

2. Facebook could have made this opt-in: "Hey, would you like to see some of your most trending moments from this year?"

All this until we get really good at sentiment analysis. I think, too, that Facebook users need to realize that Facebook is going to find ways to use their content. If you upload those memories, they can bring them back to you.

(IMO, it's more of a win to consume on Facebook rather than produce.)
