Zucky has behaved so much as a demagogue that he can now be challenged. An alternative to Farcebook maybe in the works. The migration to it would be tectonic at this point.
Communists/democrats always have this problem. They want control over every little aspect of everyone’s lives.
Gosh, it’s sure a darn shame to see Facebook being fingered for the data-mining operation that it truly is.
Well, maybe it’s not a shame.....more like poetic justice.
Hillary stooge....
as long as he and his family are also left paupers in the streets begging for scraps.
that would be appropriate.
This...”man” is such a titanic schmuck.
It’ll be delicious to watch him getting taken down.
He knew about it. He needs to go to jail.
It’s not Zuckerburg. He’s the “face” of Facebook. It’s government owned and operated. Think about it. Who runs the government? The Deep State which is liberal. And the liberal Facebook is censoring everything the deep state perceives as a threat. If it was controlled by Zuckerburg, he’d leave it alone and not care about the politics. Once the billions roll in the liberals pretend to care but it’s actually all about the money.
I'm very aware of the profile I'm accumulating on FB. I don't take any tests that I won't get a high grade on. I don't do anything that evaluates mental or physical loss of skill. I realize what I "like" tells a lot about me.
I'm surprised how much I like the upside of FB. It's real good to be in touch with my HS classmates and cousins I've lost contact with. I like putting an occasional quote up and see the kinds of comments I get. In dialog with my former students, I find they still enjoy positive comments from their HS Math teacher. I like it when there are reasonable discussions about current events on CSPAN postings, Cleveland Indians website, and even MSNBC. It's good to see that people very much out of my comfort zone have interesting and valuable insights to share.
Summary FB is whatever you want it to be. Zuckerberg's model requires individual responsibility and intelligence to be used well. He over estimates people's capacity to control their own decisions in a responsible way.
We had a snake; and a scorpion, too; tell us...
BTTT...
Abandon Fecebook
Zuckerberg uses the wealth you provide against US.
Reminder: Facebook (and Twitter, and ...) is NOT A MONOPOLY.
You don’t have to use it. There are plenty of alternatives. Just because your friends are on FB doesn’t mean you have to, or that you have to use it a lot, or that you have to use any of the many tendrils it puts out into the world. I use FB proper to track generic friends; refuse to use the rest of its “services” like “FB sign on” or Instagram. There’s plenty of elsewhere to be, and the reduced usage reduces what they get out of the project.
There’s much more to the Internet than Facebook et al. You DO have alternatives.
I’ve been enjoying the Vero app. No ads, no algorithms, it’s free, everything is in chronological order, you can easily share links/photos/video/etc. Best of all, no Zuckerberg!
Not tech compatible, period. Could someone explain to me in layman’s terms what is happening? Thanks in advance.
If FB users thought this tool was for their personal benefit, they’re braindead.
Zuck the. Cuck is like Dr Frankenstein.
He created a force more powerful than he could imagine.
Not leaving people the heck alone pretty much pervades all of society.
Wikileaks: Emails Show Facebook CEO Zuckerberg Wanted to Meet with Clinton Campaign
by Lucas Nolan18 Oct 2016
Leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, show attempts to organize meetings with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The emails released by WikiLeaks show Sandberg offering to organise a meeting between Podesta and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg.
Sandberg goes on to explain the possible nature of such a meeting, saying that Zuckerburg is “meeting with people to learn more about next steps for his philanthropy and social action” and is “interested in meeting people who could help him understand how to move the needle on the specific public policy issues he cares most about.”
It seems that Zuckerburg is interested in influencing policies relating to “social oriented objectives (like immigration, education or basic scientific research).” It isn’t blatantly stated whether or not Zuckerburg agrees with Clintons leaked open borders policy but it does seem that increased immigration is a cause Zuckerburg has aligned himself heavily with by helping to fund the immigration reform organisation FWD.US
Further emails show a meeting between Sandberg and Podesta was organised to “step through the research on gender and leadership by women.”
This is not the first time Silicon Valley elites have been accused of being involved with political campaigns or attempting to influence the presidential election. Facebook has a history of censoring anti-Hillary Clinton content, while WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has stated that Google is “directly engaged” in the Clinton campaign. The company has also been accused of censoring search results that may paint Clinton in a negative light.
