I Say Shut Down Facebook For Sharing Our Data

34. No problem with your reply

I'm rather ambivalent about FB. It's just entertaining to watch the excuses for something when someone uses "Their" medium or whatever and defends it with their logic while attacking others for defending their ideals.

I personally have nothing against FB except for one item and it pertains to all the social media we've seen the last few years.
If the Russians can use it to convince the "less informed" to vote for some specific candidate before an election, maybe we could stop the FB posts a month before an election. I know that won't happen for the same reason we'll never have effective gun control. Because we certainly wouldn't want Zuckerberg (damn spell check!) to lose money! That's un American. And regulation...well, by the time that gets done we'll probably all have psychic powers or at least have some sort of cranial plugin like Johnny Mnemonic.

Privacy? Don't kid yourself. Parents signed that away when we are born nowadays.
As far as being able to communicate with friends and family, we've grown too lazy. Imagine if all of a sudden FB, twitter, etc. users had to actually, physically write on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope and (gasp) pay 47 cents to send it. My goodness, it might take actual time to get a reply.

Yeah, your idea of a temp shutdown and mine the month before an election would make sense, but...again, don't touch my whatever, but let's stop yours.

Fun times ahead.
