Facebook is really proud of its 300,000 business bots, despite claiming it will put ’people first’

Mark Zuckerberg has made it clear that fake profiles and soviet robots have no place on Facebook.

But worry not, robots. ‘Messenger’ is still a hospitable home for bots like you.

At F8, Facebook’s Vice President of Messaging Products, David Marcus, jovially reported that Messenger’s integration with business is going swimmingly. According to Marcus, over 8 billion messages have been sent between people and businesses. And there are 300,000 monthly active bots engaging with customers on messenger.
