Lots and lots of trolls and data mining. Then I found people from high school and even my two sisters, both them are nuts no kidding. I had pics of my girlfriend from 1980 so I found her and sent them. 😀 I talked to cousins I’d lost touch with in 1975.
From that angle it was interesting but the fucking with peoples minds and the data mining it worried me. Then I saw a curious thing where people cursed and harassed complete strangers, it’s like shooting someone in the back.
I like kidding around as much as anybody but Facebook is like very bad restroom in the worst part of town. Is this accurate?

I heard its a popular research site.  |
I'm sure many lawyers use it as a basis for their briefs to the courts.

The only people Facebook "harms" are the ones foolish enough to read it.
I do like Facebook marketplace though.
And yes....some lawyers do indeed cite Facebook posts in their briefs. You need to be VERY careful but all good plaintiff lawyers tell their clients to kill their Facebook pages for a reason. |

Not exactly.
When lies are spread or facebook, some of those foolish people can take action. These actions can harm everyone.
Lies about the electron
Lies about the pandemic
Lies about the vaccines
Facebook doesn't harm just young girls, it harms everyone.

So now you are even quoting Frances Haugen! And remember when parents had and took control. It really is as simple as keep them off, if there is something or a raft of somethings wrong. It is not Facebook......it is so big, MUCH much bigger than Facebook. And I know, you will have 50 reasons why it is Facebook............but I know better. And Frances Haugen, come on. |
