Although I believe it's generally true that if a company appears prominently in the news it's liable to be attacked I assume because the miscreants sit around thinking "hmm, who shall we attack today oh look at that shiny headline!" I'd hate to ascribe any altruistic motivation w/o some evidence like even a credible twitter post (maybe they posted that on FB? :-) I wonder how often the US White House, congress, et al are attacked since they appear in almost any top headline list often centering on something someone out there really doesn't like?

Suspiciously, this comes the morning after Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen disclosed on 60 Minutes that Facebook's own research shows that it chose to profit from misinformation and political unrest through deliberate escalation of conflicts. Occam’s razor says “When multiple causes are plausible, and CBS 60 Minutes is one of them, go with 60 Minutes.” :)
