Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to critically examine the role of the Facebook platform in undermining the informational ecosystem. I posit that its business model,algorithm, and the reinforced digital culture stand in contrast to its socialresponsibility initiatives aimed at bolstering professional journalism like Meta(Facebook) Journalism project. Essentially, I intend to problematize how Facebookportrays itself as a saviour of journalism, enhancing its reputation, when it intensifiesthe challenges faced by this profession, positioning itself as a negative force in the bignarrative about the asymmetric relationship implied by design between social mediaand mass-media.
