Facebook is evil.
I pray we never have to go to advertising to fund FR.
Never been to FB. But to save them the trouble, my shopping habits can be summed up in two words...
Capital Strike
I pity the suckers that made a Facebook account
We’re being tracked by everybody these days. Facebook is just one among many.
I do have a Facebook account, & I enjoy posting articles on it that I found here on FR.
Easy solution to this: erase your Facebook account and begin your own social network where none of these practices would be allowed. And, of course, forgo the billions you could make.
If the NSA did stuff like this folks would be screaming “invasion of privacy”.
The narcissists on FB are happy for yet another way to say “hey, look at me!”
and people wonder why I don’t do FaceAcheBook
Not a social media user/investor, but I’ve read how social media ads are more effective than traditional advertising. By an astonishing margin.
One more in the long list of reasons that, although I have an account with Facebook, I’ll not post anything on it. I can only imagine the nightmares I’d have if I had pre-teen children or teenagers.
When Facebook was first announced, I got that blow-to-the-pit-of-stomach feeling that warns you to stay away.
Had the same feeling decades ago when the bf said, “We’re invited to a party in the HOllywood Hills. Sharon Tate will be there.”
Pays to listen to those gut feelings, really it does.
I wonder what that “stupid POS” who called me a “stupid POS” for warning about tracking on FB has to say. I don’t know because I’ll never speak to him again. Never. He’s an atheist.
There is no way I would get into Facebook…...
