Fuck Facebook

[Le Gaucher]

That's all.

[MineralMan]

1. Not my type.

[Different Drummer]

2. ...

[dameatball]

3. I got off FB a few years ago and have absolutely no regrets. Too many weird in-laws.

[java108]

4. A most riveting tale, my compatriot.

Translated: Cool story, bro.

5. fakebook is a scourge on society.

[LuckyLib]

14. My brother calls it a "surveillance engine" -- all you need to see is

both episodes of Frontline. Astounding.

[democratisphere]

17. Sure is. Crazy stuff. The NEW Central Intelligence Agency.

[Initech]

6. I haven't logged into my FB account in 3 years.

Now I don't plan to ever again. Fuck them.

11. You can actually delete your profile if you want

If you aren't ever going back. That's what I did.

7. Nah, they just need to know what you had for breakfast

who your wife voted for, and who your friend's second cousin is sleeping with

8. Facebook is like my flower beds needs constant weeding.

[Stonepounder]

9. I belong to a bunch of groups on Facebook.

Most of them are 'closed groups', meaning they have to approve you, they have rules, and they can boot you if you don't follow their rules.

Just about every group I belong to is dedicated to telling stories about and sharing pics of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. And every group has among its rules a "Do NOT discuss politics" one that will get you booted out of the group faster than you can say 'tRump stinks'.

Anyone who sends me a 'fake news' or a pro-tRump post immediately gets unfriended and blocked.

Works like a champ for me. YMMV

10. Everybody, back to MySpace!

[DinahMoeHum]

12. I've never had an account with FB or Twitter.

I don't swim in dirty water.

13. If Facebook Was Appropriately Regulated it Would Likely Be a Different Story

Facebook is a platform that requires regulation. It is naive to think they would self-regulate. It is more likely a tired and hungry toddler would self-regulate in a candy store.

15. I always hated facebook

Maybe it is my age. But I lived most of my life by people coming and going out of it. You worked with people, you met people, you dated people. And if they were really good friends, you stayed in touch. Everybody else drifted away. I liked it like that. Just because you worked with somebody years ago does not mean they are still your "friend" - people change. Maybe you have changed. Maybe you don't want to know them anymore. Whatever the case, being in some internet world with some asshole from High School that you never liked much to begin with is nuts. Keep in touch with good friends and everybody else forget them.

18. You said it very well.

I did Facebook several years ago for about 6 months, and that was all I could stand. I didn't know much about it when I set up an account and I got inundated with messages from old acquaintances and distant relatives who I didn't really want in my life. I just quit signing into my account and left it alone. I've been told by others that there are people asking about me, but I just tell them to tell those people that I quit Facebook and I'm doing just fine.

16. Facebook was an essential organizing tool for Egyptian and Iranian protestors.

Facebook is like anything: good and bad at the same time.

[Le Gaucher]

19. So is any other social networking tool. The issue is the fucking

Assholes let the Democratic subversion happen even though they were aware of it ..they could have sounded the alarm ..

[maxsolomon]

20. Yep, but FB is not just "any other social networking tool".

Its the big kid on the block. Google, not Bing or Alta Vista. Yet they, like Obama, were afraid of the RW Noise Machine: "They'll accuse us of bias!"

They'd accuse you of raping your mother if they thought they'd gain an advantage. Might as well tell them to piss off.

Hopefully FB learned some sort of lesson, but I don't have a lot of faith, either.

21. Bookface?

Because I want to know where you had lunch?
