Article pretty mush reflects my opinion. I find it comical that people think its “news” that Facebook, or anyone else on the internet, records their information.

It’s why I’ve always been careful about what I post.

Duh.

That technology has made our lives easier, and some would say better, isn’t really a matter for debate.

Oh, I quite disagree, Mr. Hunter. Technology can make some lives easier, but then there are those that use technology to simply increase their factor of laziness. Tech is leading us down the road to Idiocracy and much more towards Elysium vice Star Trek.

We have virtual lives now instead of real ones.

Most of us understood from the beginning that anything we posted online was the same as publishing it in the daily newspaper.

WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE Cambridge Analytica worked for the Trump campaign, and either stole, hacked, or through some other nefarious way mined personal information from 50 million Americans and used it to target ads on Facebook to people likely receptive to them.......activities that were lauded as leading edge stuff when Democrats did it.

WHERE WAS ZUCKERBERG when the Obama campaign used Facebook as a campaign tool in 2012?

Obama suggesting to his supporters: “Why not try sifting through my self-described supporters’ Facebook pages in search of friends who might be on the campaign’s list of the most persuadable voters? Then the campaign could ask the self-identified supporters to bring their undecided friends along. The technique, as they saw it, could also get supporters to urge friends to register to vote, to vote early or to volunteer and donate,” wrote the New York Times in a 2013 story about President Obama’s reelection campaign.

Add to that obscenity, the confession by a former Obama campaign staffer that they basically took whatever they wanted from Facebook, with Facebook's blessing.

As the criticism of Trump escalates, you recognize that Zuckerberg has stupidly enforced double standards, never expecting to get caught.

Let's see....last report was that Facebook lost $50 BILLION in value.

Your first cartoon is a picture of hopeful dreams.

Your second cartoon is a picture of a democrat rally.

“Most of us understood from the beginning that anything we posted online was the same as publishing it in the daily newspaper.”

we older, more knowledgeable,and possibly wiser generations figured this out early on. as one of the first users of email over two decades ago, even before it was available to the general public, we had a rule of thumb that, as you said, one should never put anything in an email you wouldn’t want blared onto the front pages of the newspapers. Another version was never to put anything in an email you wouldn’t want your mother to read the next day ...

I think part of the problem is that the younger generations aren’t being taught many of the important lessons of life, either by their parents or government schools ...

...activities that were lauded as leading edge stuff when Democrats did it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And they ALSO used encrypted social media throughout the ME to make the magic negros Arab Spring happened
in order to destabilize the entire Middle East: Libya, Sudan,Somalia, Egypt, Kenya,Syria , spreading the Libyan arsena;l across the ME, opening up Africa to the tender mercies of newly armed Muslim terrorists like Boko Haram.

Yahoo and Facebook brought that about through training the radicals in the use of social media to organize encrypted radical communications, protests, riots and armed conflict.
The fact that the Dems used Yahoo and Google for that was assumed “cutting edge.”

If the Trump campaign engaged in data mining, they were “dirty tricks?” Thats just so much bull.

When the right uses the left’s techniques and wins...the left squeal like stick pigs.It is to laugh.

Zuck the F*ck is a part of the liberal fascist mafia trying to take down President Trump. He should be indicted and frog marched to the nearest federal lock up remand pending trial.
No mercy.

“Add to that the confession by a former campaign staffer that they basically took whatever they wanted from Facebook, with their blessing, and you begin to think there might be double standards at work here.”


No, there might be a HUGE illegal campaign contribution. I think that the FEC needs to get involved.

“Would anyone have signed up for Facebook if it were $50 a year but there were no ads? Maybe, but only a fraction of what they currently have. Just like people wouldn’t use gmail if they had to pay for it. But those “free” services have to be paid for somehow. The piper doesn’t play for free.”

If you aren’t paying for a product, then YOU are the product. People not aware of that (even if not in so many words) probably shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

When we see the reality of how the present differs so much from what anyone expected just a generation or two ago it illustrates the true insanity
of the Climate Change mongers who are making predictions of impending doom and gloom 50, 100 and 200 years into the future.

Just 40 years ago the ‘experts” predicted that we were on the threshold of a new mini-ice age.

And only 12 years ago Al Gore predicted that by 2010 much of the eastern US would be under water.

Yet here we are 8 years past his deadline with dry feet and still breathing air.

If the past tells us anything it is that the direction the future will take us is uncertain and impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy.

Desperate Zuckerberg's now saying (as his company flounders):
"we have a responsibility to protect users' information."

MEMO TO ZUCKER: That's what you SAY, you leftist idiot. But we all know what you DID.
