I think you are missing the point. What Facebook has done and is doing is wrong. They tricked their users into sharing things that they weren't intended to share.

I don't understand why TechCrunch continues to defend them in the face of this. It seems like you do so, not out of objectivity, but because they are so big and successful.

Comment on Democratizing Talent: Guy Oseary, Greyson Chance, NowMov, IndieGoGo and the Future of Talent by Matthew Purdon

He is 12 years old. Many young kids who hit fame early lead very difficult lives. I am more concerned that the escalation of the media money machine will eat up and spit the kid out more quickly than they have other child hood talents.
