The Problem With Facebook 2014-02-18, 16:17:06 Well, I was going to open a thread on Facebook, but I've changed my mind.The Problem With Facebook is closed because of a change of heart and a lack of interest.
Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #1 – 2014-02-18, 21:39:57 Strangely enough, you older people are the ones keeping FB afloat these days.The younger (20 and below) generation are apparently leaving in droves. I keep one (as you well know) to keep in touch with friends abroad and for my casino games. If I didn't have either, I'd not hesitate in de-activating mine. It's naught but:1. Who is getting married.2. Who is getting divorced and is usually accompanied by some trash-talking of said soon-divorcee.3. Who is getting pregnant.4. How one really feels about politics.5. (in my great Aunt's case) Preaching to heathens ad nauseum. (then she has the nerve to get upset when I delete her)

Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #3 – 2016-07-31, 16:33:04 Huh, I had no idea we had this topic. In Europe I believe it's mainly about whether Facebook abides by privacy laws, but I wouldn't be surprised if they might need to pay some wayward taxes either. But of course there isn't a single company that'll pay too many taxes. Accidentally paying too little though…
Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #4 – 2016-07-31, 18:27:50 In this case, the tagline of the article states, "At issue is the way Facebook moved assets to Ireland." This is always at issue, both in Europe and in the States.

Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #7 – 2016-07-31, 21:10:07 Face recognition softwares, used by all the polices, the same polices that register in video people's right to express at political rallies, can identify 2000 individuals per second. If those individuals are registered at some digital database. That digital database it's called with no surprise Facebook.Another invention by the Americans.

Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #11 – 2016-08-02, 22:59:34 Nope, you're the ones that feels secure by video monitoring your own shit. The coprophile nature of yours.
Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #12 – 2016-08-03, 05:24:35 As usual, Bel, an ignorant opinion… Perhaps Thomas (or is it Nostradamus? ) supports it? Or the current Pope, Ignoramus Francis? Do you, like him, wish Marxism to have a resurgence?
Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #13 – 2016-08-05, 00:06:02 Safer with a camera that a legion of trigger happy cops. from I wonder where??

Quote from: OakdaleFTL on 2016-08-03, 05:24:35Do you, like him, wish Marxism to have a resurgence? Good advance, you're letting your competitors far behind... It would be certainly amazing to listen to an American explaining what Marxism is about but I'll spare that effort for you. Neither me or the Pope could ever defend Marxism the same way we'll never defend your amoral capitalism.On topic, I keep resisting to Facebook.

He doesn't pay any...at least that's what Hillary says.
Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #19 – 2016-10-04, 23:21:42 Speaking about Facebook, a few years ago, I mean five or six years, face recognition top softwares were able to identify two thousand faces per second if those faces were at some database. Today, it will be much, much more.These son of a bitch don't even are ashamed about what they do, so they call it Facebook, the book of faces, the place where idiots delivers their face images, their colleagues, their family, their friends.You really deserve what's going to happen you.
Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #20 – 2016-10-05, 18:02:28 Facebook not just watches what you watch,[1] it also makes statistics of it and then inserts related[2] stuff into your FB flow. For people who have most of their life there[3] and who treat it like life,[4] it becomes increasingly the only life.Now, real life is as it is - it includes Facebook. But Facebook-life is a web of virtual relations and an echochamber of stuff virtually related thereto. People get stuck there soul and body.Let's add to this that companies are also increasingly present as users on Facebook, promoting themselves, collecting friends and likes, joining and creating groups. Everybody does that - industries, media outlets, banks, government offices, and innumerable swindlers. So poor people don't only get stuck on Facebook, they will get screwed too. That's how deeply Facebook sucks. And people get sucked in there all the more easier because this life blows.1 You don't need to even click, it's enough to pause scrolling.↵2 Related according to FB&Google logic.↵3 Not just friends, but groups like family, workmates, schoolpals, hobbies, shopping, also correspondence like comments, shares, and chat history. ↵4 They go there every day or almost and they spend there all day or nearly so, as if life depended on it.↵ 2 Likes

But I want to let very clear that Facebook is not only the "virtual some shit" menace. There's no political manifestation in the streets that is not filmed by the police with hd cameras so every one present will be identified by their photos at Facebook. Real life totalitarianism is happening everyday all over the western world, this is not just some virtual world menace. It's reality.

Re: The Problem With Facebook Reply #23 – 2016-10-14, 21:32:32 I would enjoy a dictator. Would help my shyness, lack of opinion and failure to be controversial.
