Evolution, Adaption and Facebook
With time, all things change....they adapt to a changing environment and evolve. In most instances, change is difficult. Time elicits change sometimes out of a health necessity or by a trailblazer or even out of a reinvention of self, either way, change is no doubt difficult.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Founder and CEO, released a lengthy statement that same day.

Depending on what it's used for, hence the FTC involvement to continue to ensure all users are informed about the publicity of their statements and usage of the service.
