Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said its online shopping platform will aim to counter Covid-19's 'economic shock'

Facebook Inc. is making a big push into online shopping through Facebook Shops, enlisting small businesses to sell their wares through its platform and giving them access to its technology at the same time the coronavirus pandemic has upended business world-wide.

“It’s clear at this point that Covid isn’t just a health emergency,” Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said Tuesday, referring to Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus that has forced businesses to close physical stores. “It’s also the biggest...

Ours is better

Big tech was in on this from the get go. Crush SMBs and then 'help' them by having them sign over their souls and a cut of all future revenue. Unbelievable.

He hasn't stopped all the groups that sell toilet paper for rediculous prices

I agree, that’s a good idea, should have done it earlier.

Facebook is so awful. I can not stand it. Can’t believe the free-idiot advice available 24/7.

Hope the plan includes free shipping to one's door such as Amazon offers on their site. The cost of items, plus tax, and shipping charges can make products pricey. Small businesses also can't sell at huge discounts like chain stores.

Alians are among us

Oh great, more legitimate avenues for girls from high school to sell you Monat on FB

Cyber thugs. They are still deleting accounts of those who do not share their political views.

This guy is made of plastics.

To challenge the Amazon company. Good move.

What’s your cut ?

COVID 19 is a real crutch for all these billionaires. What’s worse is, the consumer who is least able to afford it will be at the front of the line to trial the service. Well I guess that’s why the 1% control 80% of the world’s wealth. greed

get that man more melanin! he's embarrassing a pro'fess'ional ginger here with how pale his FadeSpook app is

Translation: Mark figures he can cash in on an economic crisis with thinly veiled motives to pretend to give 2 sh*ts about small business.

“As my New Year’s resolution for 2019, I quit Facebook. One year later, it’s the best decision I ever made—at least about my online life.” DeleteFakebook

ZUCK is just jealous of Bezos. Wants a cut of Covid billions.

Delete your Facebook account instead. Zuck's idiotic platform is partially to blame for getting us into this mess.

Just tell ppl 2 go shopping like 43 did. Tell us the truth about ur own disease, how u&a few of ur buds will die if u don't break the trillionaire 'glass' ceiling. Go talk 2 ppl with portfolios, no1 else wants 2 hear ur Pinocchio nose grow, We're donE w/ur bitsy bid. OurFaceOff

He’s beginning to annoy me.

Not interested.

kiss my ass

We are PERFECTION🌟, aren't we?🙂💖🎈

Did nazi that coming

Grift intensifies

Great, another service for me to avoid.

Oh, I thought the big announcement was going to be he is going to volunteer to pay more taxes.

Nope.

What an altruist 😂

This is .. ugh 🤮.. whatajoke

What does Facebook even sell?

I became a victim for more than 50,000 Americans in Okinawa, Japan for a rape incident in 1995 by US army. I and my mom deserve the best and an apology and appreciation and best treat. I don't deserve ignorance, abuse, scars and damages on my body. Plz stop abuse. It's going on.

I think Americans can shop at small businesses without Facebook’s involvement. That’s how America was built for over 225 years before Facebook existed.

Thank goodness I'm not on Facebook.

Will they be charged a fee? I wanted to boost a post for a non profit and they wanted extra money and paperwork completed.

Will Zuck re-sale my credit card information too?

Zuckerberg def looks like hes an alien. But i wonder if he is our alien benefactor or some type of a reptilian soul-sucking alien

Another liberal cheat profiting

FACECROOK...wasting people’s lives since 2004 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴. DELETE FACEBOOK. 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

I can now use this knowledge to deflect against the people who try to shame me for using Amazon.

BrasilComBolsonaro ;/

L, just stick with Amazon.

Will it contain caviar, vodka and other assorted Russian goods? Will he be selling the data from customer profiles for use in public disinformation?

Cambridge Analytica, but for pants.

Nobody cares

Emmm ok 😏

What an opportunist. 🙄 Kind of like stealing Facebook from his his college friends. “Grab and Go - Make Lots of Doe”.

Oh and it will have Trump souvenirs also. Sad.

Pedophile! prison is where he needs to be.

Is there anyone trust him?

Aim to put more $ in his pockets

Seems like he missed the March dip for making some acquisitions and now tries to make Shopify, Zoom and whatever’s trending in-house. Zuck of all trades?

Thanks 🙏

About 15% of the country trusts you at this point Mark. This will fail.

Small Red state towns are fucked, Yeah a goofball southern pastor and wife says screw it, Jesus will protect us, Holds service last month. The wife and him are Dead 15 have the trumpy Greed virus out a congregation of about 30 sheeple. Good Job GOPs making America a Graveyard..
