Facebook and Twitter are seeing their first drop in users ever

due to the fact that they were found guilty of allowing Russia bots to use social media to influence and interfere in the election and for denying any knowledge about it for so long. Facebook lost daily users and the amount of time by users also fell. The guy who was on Bill Maher last week, Roger McNamee, said users are becoming aware Facebook has a dark side. He said Facebook should use subscribers instead of advertisers as revenue and people should be more aware of who the candidates are on their own and not rely on Facebook to choose for them.
