As its famous founder Mark Zuckerberg looks ahead, we ask how Facebook impacts our relationships, the social infrastructure of the web, and — even in a moment of vulnerability — still shapes lives across the globe?

The Impact
The Impact focuses on how policy affects people. In Washington, the story often ends when Congress passes a law. For us, that’s where the story begins. We focus on the human consequences — positive and negative, expected and unexpected — when government bodies, nonprofits, and even academic institutions decide to start doing something differently.
