Introduction

Over the years, numerous developments have been witnessed considering technological developments. These developments have offered the ideal framework for approaching community demands while affecting the overall interactions witnessed within the business setting. Social media marketing is one of the issues that have influenced community and business operations. This section examines numerous aspects presented through the Facebook Dilemma understanding the effects of the firm on privacy and democracy.

One of the main themes is the influence of Facebook on the community considering data collection and harvesting. This theme has been presented strategically by considering Facebook's growth trends in the past (Frontline PBS, 2018). The firm was established as a social connection platform allowing consumers to share ideas and content with friends regardless of distance or location factors. However, with time, the company evolved with growing pressure from external and internal stakeholders, focusing more on data harvesting.

The progressive user data harvesting has offered the firm the ideal framework for benefiting its algorithms, democracy, privacy, and business. Social media marketing is an essential aspect that allows businesses to meet new clients within broader markets. Facebook has offered a framework for improving business expansion through strategic marketing. Strategic data collection allowed many businesses to earn competitiveness through reaching out to many people. However, the film argues that the continued manipulation of its algorithms and systems to meet the data collection goals has undermined its initial ambitions and goals. Regardless, many businesses have succeeded in meeting new consumers and expanding their operation through Facebook and social media marketing.

From another dimension, social media marketing has been influenced by the abilities of firms to provide information about the products offered through various sites like Facebook. However, the Facebook Dilemma shows the firm's challenges and the stakes at hand considering privacy and compliance while balancing business and individual growth. The primary theme has revolved around the growing dilemma influenced by the current trends in data privacy and the manipulation of democracy. The film shows that Facebook grew significantly, influencing business operations considering products and services delivery. The platform influenced the consumers and businesses positively, considering the buying behavior. Many people today prefer using the internet to perform their duties.

Ecommerce businesses have benefited from using the arising technologies considering their abilities to meet prospects and consumers. Additionally, it has been easy for businesses to influence consumer buying behavior considering products delivery. Social media marketing has offered the ideal framework for businesses to continue delivering their products according to the arising trends and demands. While physical stores are still operational, social media has allowed firms to deliver their products to distant geographies (Frontline PBS, 2018). Through social media marketing, companies can learn about the buying behavior of their consumers, focusing on past trends. The past trend allows the primary players to influence future decisions concerning a given product or service. Therefore, social media marketing has empowered businesses to shape consumer perceptions about their buying habits.

Additionally, businesses and marketers are using Facebook as a vehicle for reaching new consumers. This platform has connected diverse consumers and populations from the global dimension. As a result, the platform has become a rich source of data and information about the market that can influence products and services delivery.

Conclusion

Facebook is one of the platforms that have benefited businesses and individuals considering products delivery and communication. Regardless of the challenges witnessed in privacy and misuse, Facebook has benefited marketers, businesses and consumers in delivering the product. However, the film shows a need to understand privacy and its effects on business operations considering consumer protection and compliance with the existing legal frameworks.
