When You Are Denied Service Based Upon What You Say And Think

[HoughMade]

I think it's going the way the dodo. It's going to end like it started, younger people are going first then the older folks will follow in 10 ish years.

Younger people are abandoning already.

Always follow the money

If I had a dollar for every time you posted that, you’d be following my​ money.

I got rid of Facebook before I even got into politics. Too much drama, and if I wanna stay connected with you I’ll text, call, or email you.

Facebook will die for the same way MySpace, AOL, and Yahoo died. Once the next big thing comes out. The issue now is Facebook has grown more powerful than all those who have previously failed.

Ya they're big enough to buy up the competition now. reminds of the person who found out all the shady stuff Facebook was doing and decided they would boycott Facebook and switch to Instagram...

Have you ever heard of "Shadow Profiles"? Even if you're not a Facebook user, there's a good chance Facebook knows you exist.

If you have a friend that's on Facebook and say they share their phone contacts with them, if you're in those contacts, Facebook is going to have your phone number, email, and any other information your buddy saved. Facebook and their android leader scare the **** out of me.

I can't stop them from doing that. What I can do is refuse to assist them by volunteering huge amounts of data directly from me.

At this point, I think that Facebook and Google are re-defining "too big to fail." They might lose active users, but it's not going to stop what they're doing, just change how they do the majority of their business.

I do not put any info on line except here.

But my daughters have this wild ancestry hair and now the mormans have my info all the way back to Lot.

Since many or most social media sites are now using censorship, lobby to change their status from "platform" to "publisher". They then lose lawsuit protections given to them through "platform" status.

There's a growing movement to do that, but it almost certainly won't happen this year. It needs wider awareness followed by more support.

I also rarely place personal information online.

You and I can live without Facebook, but millions of people are addicted to it. I'm sure asking one of those millions to stop using Facebook would be like asking them to give up their car.

 

[2A_Tom]

Worse than that, asking us to give up INGO!

Yup. They're trying to have it both ways.

The problem is especially apparent in developing nations where people didn't grow up with the world wide web... they are introduced to FB as something to do online then find they can do more in FB next thing you know, there's a population that doesn't know there's more to the internet than FB. want to search for info? FB. want to buy something? FB. gotta remember that we Americans have an unusual amount of information and freedom on this planet.

They don't know what a computer is, all they have are phones with the FB app on it. Want to follow the money? outhouses and e-coli water from the river 10 miles away, charge the phones from a genny with 15 power strips the rich guy in town rents time on, but they have cell service for FB. They aren't addicted to FB, FB is their only access to and visible part of the web!

^above info comes directly from a family from my mom's church that went to Africa on a mission trip 15 years ago and visits the states on vacation once in a while.

Wow. Something that even he can't do.

I'll come visit you in the re-education camps, maybe throw some crackers over the fence

 

[2A_Tom]

Hey! the discussion about crackers is in Political funny pics!

I have no doubt that AOC thinks "crackers" should be thrown over the fence...

IIRC, she's firmly against "the fence"

Good point, but I have the feeling she'd be okay with folks she doesn't agree with being held behind fences.
