For a long time, there were a set of posters which adorned the walls of Facebook’s Menlo Park offices emblazoned with one, simple statement: Move fast and break things. This was the creed upon which Facebook was built, how the company had grown from a Harvard hobby project to a multi-billion dollar giant.
Moving fast was key to Facebook’s success. But I say ‘was’. Now that Facebook has grown so big and has so many people logging onto and using the platform every day, moving fast is no longer their priority – nor can it be with so much on the line. These days, Facebook has wider ambitions, grander goals for expanding the network’s presence and societal influence.
