The fact that Facebook is a company that's been plagued

The fact that Facebook is a company that's been plagued by scandal for years is a sign that it can't run a serious business when it doesn't have a good story. And that's all that matters.

Google had its share of problems over the past year.

Facebook's problems began in 2011, when it tried to fix a problem that allowed it to collect more than 1.5 million people's personal information. The company blamed security problems for the problem, and it took months to fix it. On May 28, 2011, Facebook rolled out a new feature called "Inappropriate Privacy Settings" to prevent users from receiving advertising revenue. It also introduced a new "Personal Information" feature that could track users' habits. Facebook was also accused of misleading users with spammy pages.

Google did the same trick in 2012, when it turned over user information to third parties, including Google Analytics, which allowed users to see the company's search results.

To help Google avoid problems with the company, Mark Zuckerberg recently said he would hire a lawyer to fight the privacy violations.

To that end, he's set to leave Google on the road to profitability next year, with all of his employees and his most talented employees under no obligation to give the company any money. (As for that legal threat from Facebook, which has already been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Council in an effort to force an attorney to investigate claims of copyright infringement, it is unclear how long this will last.)
