An NYMag.com article from October 17, 2018, is titled: "Facebook Risks Losing the Trust of Its Only Real Customers"

Your opening:
A little over two years ago, Facebook announced that it had messed up. This was before the 2016 election, before Cambridge Analytica, before a data breach exposing the information of 30 million users. Even then, this announcement was still pretty serious. Following a Wall Street Journalreport, Facebook disclosed that it had been miscalculating video viewership for two years — in that same period of time, the social network was heavily pressuring advertisers and media organizations to invest in its video platform.
