Gene Munster, longtime Wall Street tech analyst turned venture capitalist, said Thursday he questions the amount of good Facebook's brings to the world.
The 47-year-old founder of Loup Ventures said on CNBC he has "fundamental challenges" with the scrutinized social network and Twitter, adding they "fundamentally just don't do a lot of good for the world."
For businesses to change the world as well as thrive, they have to do "some form of good," Munster said in a "Squawk Box" interview. He added he "questions some of that related to Facebook."
"If you look at Facebook's F8 conference and some of the announcements they made around building community, whether it's dating or groups, that is an indication that Facebook also recognizes that people don't feel as good," said Munster, who spent more than two decades as an influential analyst at Piper Jaffray.
Facebook did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on Munster's remarks.
That being said, Munster expects Facebook will come out as a winner after the company testifies next week on Capitol Hill, specifically because COO Sheryl Sandberg will be representing the company.
Sandberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey agreed to attend the hearing with the Senate Intelligence Committee on their role in "protecting elections from misinformation and disinformation." Google declined to offer anybody from the C-suite.
"[Sandberg] obviously does an outstanding job," he said. The company has also "done a lot around election interference. "They've added a lot of A.I., they've added 20,000 people to vet out fake news, they've added transparency to some of their add units."
Facebook has suffered from a number of setbacks since reports on March 17 that Cambridge Analytica had harvested the data of tens of millions of users of the social network without their permission.
Struggling with data leaks and fake news scandals, Facebook shares plunged 19 percent on July 26, a day after it warned about slower sales growth for the third and fourth quarters and a reduced forecast for long-term profit margins.
Munster argued last month that the leading tech FAANG stocks as a group may not be a safe bet for investors, saying he expects a "divergence" in the next 6 to 12 months.
The term FAANG, refers to Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google-parent Alphabet.
At the time, Munster said he saw a different path for Apple, Google, and Amazon. He said "outperformance" in the technology sector will be driven by those three stocks, particularly Apple.
