Predictions of Facebook's end

Various publications and commentators have offered a range of predictions of the end of Facebook, a social media website established in 2004.

Commentators have predicated Facebook's end for causes including a declining user base,[1][2] legal difficulties of being a closed platform,[3] inability to generate revenue,[3] inability to offer user privacy, inability to adapt to mobile platforms, inability to negotiate with the Chinese government, or Facebook ending itself to present a next generation replacement.[3]

Commentators have predicted Facebook's end for scandals including Facebook's participation in Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections,[4] and the March 2018 Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal.[5][6][7]
