“Facebook clone launched in North Korea”
I work in an IT field (no secret stuff) and I think everyone I know is on Facebook. I have resisted getting a Facebook or Twitter account. I wonder if some people might think that I must be up to something really bad if I don’t publish everything about my life on FB and other places. I have heard some people say that nowadays a technically adept person who isn’t on social media is seen as odd and maybe he is hiding something. I don’t know how widespread that attitude is.
