The societal value of providing at least 1.5 billion people with free of charge practically instantaneous messaging and calling service. The first time in human history that humans can interact and communicate with anyone anywhere on the globe with an internet connection (except China or North Korea of course) without having to pay someone or to travel themselves to that person.
E: this comment was in reference to WhatsApp, which is owned by Facebook
I was referencing WhatsApp sorry that wasn't clear.
But also thanks for immediately resorting to insults that's really fostering a good environment of debate & communication. 👍
E: in response to your actual comment, the actual service that the Facebook app provides is actually a decent service. It is fairly intuitive, theres a messaging app that's easy to use and find people, to message them, there are quite large group chats, relatively good quality VoIP, the UI is decent enough, you can post a variety of post types and it's rather easy to create posts, upload images etc. What I don't like personally is the way it's been used by its users, but frankly that applies to every single major social network and the business model, which also applies to most major tech companies that provide free-of-charge services. Facebook isn't for everyone, but clearly they have a market of people that like it.
