A lot of people in our industry seem to forget that Facebook is one of the biggest, richest, most rapacious businesses in history. Everything it does it about maximising profit. So, it supresses external links because a) it wants recruiters to have to pay to advertise those links and b) it wants to prevent users – ie freelancers - leaving its eco-system and going off to other sites. Facebook’s business is based on ruthlessly mining, manipulating and monetising individuals’

personal data. (It’s the old digital adage: if it’s free, then you’re the product.) Anyone who thinks Facebook is ‘free’ should read Shoshana Zuboff’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism .
