Facebook Declared War on Apple, and It Just May Signal the End of Facebook The company has been heading toward a major crash for a long time. Facebook is starting to look desperate. Over the past weeks, the world's largest social network has taken out several full-page ads in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. The ads attacked Apple's new privacy changes, which Facebook claims will severely hurt small businesses, and "will change the internet as we know it--for the worse."  Facebook's recent desperation isn't surprising.
