What do you mean, please? Sorry I don't use Facebook, so whatever the allusion is I do not understand it.
it's where everyone can connect to each other using a global platform. create a group and have everyone join it. it was satire, actually. but still doable as this is what games on Android phones use to keep everyone using that app in one central location in there DB to keep track of ones using there app and, not mandatory, but they provides an incentive to join there group in Facebook.
but the tech is there. everyone just logs in and communicates trough that medium (Facebook) instead of a multitude of different means, ie eMail, phone calls, messages boards, some type of video chat using different ones, it is all kept in one containment.
I had a Facebook account. I deleted my account on February 18, 2023. I don't miss that cesspool. The FB platform was the last of my social media platforms. LQ is the extent of my social media engagement along with other technology forums. I'm very happy that I have a smaller digital footprint these days. I'm pleased that my existence on the Internet is not being monetized as much.

I see nothing has changed.
Partly it is done so it can in interrupted in various different ways. College courses in Political Science, Psychology and a few others are pretty much the same.
In the back of my mind I have the feeling I have mentioned this before, but, here we go. In college I took an advanced, supposedly, writing course. The professor, a Harvard Ph.D., taught us to write straight and to the point. One day I raised my hand and said that if I did that I would flunk my poly sci and psych classes. He was a little upset, to say the least.
At the next class meeting he said he had consulted with his colleagues in other departments and that I was correct and he apologized to me in front of the class. Very considerate of him.
He went on to say at least he was teaching us to know the difference between good and bad writing and the example you posted is one of the best examples of gobbledegook I've ever seen, or worst, depending on one's point of view.

There are a couple of men (I can't remember their names) who have made a running joke of submitting papers to various "woke" sociological journals which are gobbledegook from beginning to end. They don't even need to use AI to produce them, just a large collection of portentous phrases and a simple permutation program. Mostly their papers have been accepted and published without any problems at all.
