New Face book Mission



New Face book Mission
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg revealed the new mission of the company at the ongoing  Facebook Community Summit in Chicago. 
Zuckerberg, speaking to CNN said the mission is: “To give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.” 
According to Zuckerberg, "For the past decade, we’ve focused on making the world more open and connected. We’re not done yet and we will continue working to give people a voice and help people connect. But even as we make progress, our society is still divided. So now I believe we have a responsibility to do even more. It’s so important that we’re changing @facebook‘s whole mission to take this on. It’s not enough to simply connect the world; we must also work to bring the world closer together."
