I briefly joined fb 10 years ago. I understand why some of y’all like it and find it so addictive (and hence I bought the stock after the 2012 IPO). But to me, it seemed like a colossal waste of time. There are only so many hours in the day, and I’d rather spend my online time reading interesting stories here at FR than looking at photos of what Timmy from my 8th grade class barbecued last night. Call me antisocial or a misanthrope or whatever, but I just don’t give a damn about following the lives of kids I went to school with decades ago. Even with current friends, I really have no interest in their vacation photos or their opinions on every minor topic.

Ha, my new cover photo.

Maybe Youtube should take note. They are going after guns now and deleting content. They already go after conservatives.

I believe any “free and public virtual space” should be required to allow free speech like any other “free and public physical space”.

What’s shocking to me is how many people are shocked at what they’re learning was going on behind the scenes at FB. Guess what, Zuckerberg is a billionaire. Top people at the company are millionaires. They don’t charge users a dime. Where’s the money come from? They sell your information. As Dan Bongino said on his Podcast the other night - if you’re on Facebook, YOU are the product being sold.

Mark Zuckerberg is a useful idiot of the left and now that he has outlived his usefulness, they are going to vilify him and take over his empire for their purposes.
He will be lucky if he doesn't spend time in prison.

I confess that I never have been attracted to using Facebook.

And I do not like Zuckerberg and would like to see him get a dressing down because he is a snot.

But, I have a problem. I cannot see how in the world selling all the data he acquired to various and sundry entities amounts to influencing an election.

The claim is that misinformation was posted to influence and that sounds to me like normal campaign ads. If you are influenced by ads or fake information, how is that Facebook’s fault. We are bombarded with goofy ads and insults to the opposition,...on TV and the Internet, most not very clever, but is that how we are supposed to decide for whom to vote.

How about listening to the candidate, researching their backgrounds, paying attention to their history...I guess I find it odd that anything that I saw on Facebook would influence me in any way.

But I still dislike Zuckerberg. Look forward to seeing him at the investigations.

Facebook is evil. Satan sits on the board of directors and has lots to do with the company is run.

It was that great early vaudevillian Jimmy Durante who is credited with the phrase “Everybody should leave everybody else the hell alone.”
Jimmy was right!

When the system hands billions of dollars to a pimple faced punk, it gets what it paid for.

[Kenny Bania]

Zuckerberg isn’t in trouble because he’s targeting or has unfair rules regarding conservatives. They are in trouble because liberals are livid that Facebook is now perceived as helping the Trump campaign via “fake news” and the Cambridge Analytica mess.

Facebook is a liberal echo chamber. They don’t give a shit if conservatives hate them.

I know some small biz owners who abandoned their websites for Facebook pages. I wonder if Facebook collected data on customers who aren’t members of Facebook....
