How many divorces, job firings ,suicides, and overall misery has this social media been responsible for? I’d really like to know.

That is EXACTLY what I experienced.

A criminal in the UK was trying to victimize a family member online.

I took reams of evidence directly to their Director of Security.

He could not have cared less. People get killed over stuff like this and so long as the checks continue to clear Facebook is cool with it.

Facebook is Evil!

“One of the things that I saw consistently as part of my job was the company just continuously prioritized user growth and making money over protecting users,” the ex-manager, Sandy Parakilas, who worked at Facebook for 16 months, starting in 2011


This tool hasn’t worked there in six years, FCOL. I do not use Facebook but if they abuse users then the users are free to quit.

Deactivated and deleted my account months ago. Best decision in quite some time.

>>With more than 2 billion users

Uh huh. I have 5 accounts, so I wonder how many of the 2B are unique.

It’s a dumpster fire.

I use it to make sure no one I know is dead, and to occasionally let everyone know I’m not.

Outside of that, the place is tacky, trashy, and just unreadable.

I’ve never been to FB. Don’t even know how.

Facebook is a ‘living, breathing crime scene'

Been sayin' that for years !

And such a handy database for all your DeepState friends .. what's not to like ?!  ;-)

I've kept Facebook at arms length. 'Never used it, and don't want to use it. But every once in a while, FB asks if I want to join, and gives a long list of things they know about me.

I’d be very careful about having an account there. I’ve never opened one, I sensed it was trouble.

With more than 2 billion users, Facebook's reach now rivals that of Christianity and exceeds that of Islam.

What an overblown lead.

On FB, I post regularly just to let the relatives know I’m still breathing.

Facebook is for women to share stuff with their girlfriends and look at what their families are doing on vacation

Nothing more

Apparently Instagram is for the preteen and teenage as I’m learning from my very adept 10-year-old who knows more about my iPhone than I do

My two cents it’s stupid and boring

Cheers Boring

"Facebook is a living, breathing crime scene for what happened in the 2016 election — and only they have full access to what happened,"

Really? Since months before the election, I've avoided Facebook like the plague. I think I've logged on to Facebook no more than a dozen times in more than a year. I got tired of all the "Trump is dumb," "Trump is evil," "Trump is a 'doo-doo head,'" idiocy, and I wasn't a Trump supporter until he won the nomination, because he wasn't the criminal running as a woman demonRAT. It wasn't because of "social media" that I voted for President Trump.

Much to my surprise, President Trumps has been keeping his promises, something I'd figured was gone forever. I've become a POTUS Trump supporter, only partly due to the media attacks. I LOVE what POTUS Trump is doing, both with his policies, AND with the way he has the propaganda wing of the Communist Party USA (AKA demonRATS) blowing gaskets on an almost hourly basis.
