語言的使用塑造了每個人的思維邏輯和內在世界，我和母親的世界在我習得更多字詞之後產生的分歧漸大。她以大量的建議試圖將我拖回應許之地， 而我以自我論述固守我的耽美流放地，面對我所說的話，她總是眉頭一皺，說： 「我聽不懂。」

       怎麼會聽不懂呢？明明用的是同一種語言呀！為什麼無法明白呢？我和 她都明白我們之間橫著一道巨大的溝壑，最初我們仍會試著以話語向彼此投擲，可是那些字眼都掉到溝底了，不起回音也不見功效，久而久之，我們便失 去了與彼此對話的力氣。每當我和妹妹聊起最近流行的動漫、明星，言談中夾雜日語、英文和圈內用語等等，那些是母親聽不懂的話語，她會像求知的孩子那般問著：「什麼什麼？妳們在說什麼？」而我因為懶得解釋的緣故，所以會 敷衍地回她：「沒有，沒事，反正妳又不知道。」

        Facebook is the world’s largest social media network. Since its launch in 2004, Facebook has taken the world by storm and drawn 2 billion users worldwide. As Facebook says its mission is “to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together,” it has indeed become one of the most popular ways that people interact, communicate, share photos or videos, live-stream, and share ideas online. However, it also has met with criticism, which jeopardizes the company’s reputation. Such controversies as privacy concerns, fake news, fake accounts and instances of ad fraud have substantially plagued the social media giant lately. 

       In response to the accusation of privacy concerns, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, revealed a series of changes to the company’s social platforms. He claimed the firm’s new focus on privacy would be “a major shift” on how the company is run. He also promised that Facebook wouldn’t share users’ personal data with the government without permission, a big privacy concern for many users. Messages sent via Messenger will be end-to-end encrypted, meaning Facebook itself won’t see the contents. Anyway, Facebook will center around looking for ways to encode privacy across the firm’s entire infrastructure. As to fake news surrounding Facebook, this problem dates back to fake accounts, which can be used to push fake news stories to the top of the news feed, giving them credibility and making it more difficult for users to distinguish whether they are accurate or not. In fact, Facebook is lacking in fact-checking system and thus has contributed to a news ecosystem that serves fake news alongside real news. As Facebook navigates these challenges, users are eager to see how the company will adapt to a more regulated social media landscape. To fix this problem, the Facebook app is being redesigned to make the news feed circulate only in community groups for fear of spreading misinformation widespread. By addressing privacy concerns, combating fake news, and enhancing transparency, Facebook aims to regain trust and continue fostering meaningful connections within its vast community. Hopefully, Facebook users are looking forward to seeing how Facebook will perform in a regulated social media world in the years to come.
