Fhuckerberg lying about numbers to keep his ad rates high. Needs criminal prosecution for fraud.

They’re all getting banned over there for mentioning Tommy Robinson. If you mention his name in a positive way or post a photo of him, you 100% will get banned. I’ve had it happen to me and my friends.

That's what I do....Never been apart of FB. Never will.

I never had a fakebook page under my actual identity and haven’t had one at all since they required a photo and phone number.

I have thought for some time that the ‘social media’ craze had a limited life. Part of this is that Facebook, et al are feeling heat from the gvt regarding customer privacy. The other part of customers realizing just how much of their private lives are known.

Personally I hope FB, et al will fade into oblivion.

Facebook needs to die!

It is so hard for me to get people I know off of it who are conservative.

For a great expose of techno-centric Liberal Oligarchal Capitalism, see THIS link.

Did you ever see the Youtube video of Valley "angel investor" Dave McClure launching the open Big Tech jihad conspiracy against Trump's re-election on November 9, 2016?

“Such sites have a finite life cycle.”
Excellent point. True. The pressure to join My Space in 2005 was much higher than the pressure to join Facebook in 2010. Facebook is the new Yellow Pages.

I hear ya. There’s family and old friends I COULD talk to, but assbook is so loathesome to me that I don’t and won’t. I simply refuse to log on for any reason whatsoever. Not even my sister’s death in February caused me to log in and see what happened. I simply called my niece

I cut this bs cold turkey. I do not miss it one single bit. But if you run a small business it is unfortunately worthwhile.

Logged in last summer after years of being off and found contact from an uncle in London who helped me collect 9,800 euro inheritance from a deceased aunt in spring.

Tomorrow morning my wife and child return home (I stayed home with the puppy) from 3,600 euro (not counting 500 euro train with beds and 1,000+ euro spending money) Disneyland Paris week vacation with many extras added in like Eiffel Tower visit, Paris boat tour, etc.

Today I am watching Women’s World Cup on my Sony Bravia 65inch 4K Ultra HDTV.

Might take a ride on my 1,100 euro bicycle. After gaming on my new gaming computer.

I told my wife look how sad this is... someone trying to scam me on Facebook through a hacked relative with an “inheritance”.

What’s Facebook?

I’m almost not kidding. The minute it came out, I was quite certain it would become what it has become. Scary, controlling, spying on people.
