Facebook made a decision that surprised a lot of people, and that's because the annual F8 conference was canceled due to the Coronavirus, the American company preferring not to endanger either the press or its own employees, with a conference of this kind.
Facebook announced the cancellation of the conference 2 months before it took place, so the company expects the number of infections in the US to increase by then, and not just there, otherwise it would have waited longer before canceling the conference.
Facebook surprises with his decision because he takes it so long before this conference actually takes place, and this because in the case of Mobile World Congress 2020 the decision was made only about two weeks before, and the decision was a very good one.
Facebook he should have presented in this conference some of the novelties that he will launch within the social network during this year, so many of them will remain surprises that he will announce through press releases, without presenting them in in front of the press, or its developers.
.@facebook is canceling its annual #F8 developer conference, which was scheduled for May 5-6 in San Jose. This is where Mark Zuckerberg and others $FB execs make speeches about the company's future. Interesting that they canceled this event more than 2 months in advance. @CNBC
