Nicole ParsonsFacebook has always employed industrial psychology and social engineering to manipulate.
VulcanTourist [MOVED]Every corporation that interfaces with the public for profit, including simply manufacturing products, has been employing psychologists for generations. They advise on product design, advertising strategy, customer service, "damage control", and many other facets. The psychologists employed in this fashion are mercenaries to dictators with one selfish goal, and should be treated as such.

I think I know where you were going with that and it was maybe "This is why we all hate the people from Marketing".
No. Marketing are wonderful and fluffy and stuff. Although they do get a tiny bit up themselves now and again.
No, it's those bastards in Sales that keep going "What? Yeah of course we can do that" without actually bothering to ask a clever person if it might be feasible. Fuck those twats.

People in both those roles are cut from the same cloth: they're manipulators of perception for selfish gain (in this instance their selfish gain is trickle-down from an even more selfish boss(es).
I have no respect for either of those occupations. "Skill at manipulation" is not something I'd want on my resume. I lump them in with lawyers and politicians.
