People in my family have had to deal things for generations we don't like. We've always had to deal with it. Grow a pair and do the same. If you want to start a social movement and end these things, then do so. That's all it takes.

Don't get me wrong, had Clinton been elected things would have been no better. Alphabet soup surveillance would be doing double duty putting in their own backdoors into every house they can reach, globally. Obviously this won't fly with the public, or global politics, but it was never going to deter them from doing it. Trump being in office means it will just be that much smoother for them, since they can legitimize all their activities.

Disagree. Clinton would have been much worse.
 
Who will be the designer of his hoodies? Or maybe he'll just get/order them off the shelf.

Perhaps. But I kind of doubt that she'd be blaming FB for damaging peoples' lives in a way beyond their control. No one supporting this claim has made one point about how FB has done so to them personally. And sure, you may not want to make a claim about how FB has damaged your life in a public forum, but generalities about this or that are not a claim of personal damage.
 
Personally, I am glad that Trump is the President elect and will be the president in 6 days. :) No matter whether people agree or disagree is not relevant, the election is over and he won. Mark Zuckerberg, I do not see him even running.

Zuckerberg isn't facebook. The people on facebook are the stars of facebook. Everyone knows that. Zuckerburg is what's wrong with facebook, aka the ads, the privacy invasions, etc. He's way too politically involved for a ceo as well as espouses identity politics.

Indeed. I hate Trump in tons of ways. But damn, I don't think the dude invented evil.
 
People who are alarmed over privacy issues with Facebook probably don't have any plans to do anything in business or other endeavors that would get them noticed by the public. Like inventing a great product or service or other such noteworthy accomplishment.

Which again, how has FB damaged your life? I get asked this kind of question all the time in these kinds of discussions in Genmay. And I know specifically what impacts are of the things I think have damaged my life are on matters of race. Granted, my complaints are generational over a span of 300 years that took to rectify mostly, but still, the claims I make are specific and were in motion centuries before anyone here was born. My mother turns 90 this month so I don't make these kinds of claims without SOME reason that's marrow deep.

As lefty as I am, as black as I am, as much a about diversity as I am, I will not and haven never claimed damage from a 3rd party WITHOUT A SPECIFIC REASON.

Tomorrow is MLK Day. Few will argue with what he did today, but he changed society in ways during his time that are still very controversial. Though no wants to admit.
 
Facebook, along with all the other big digital information corporations (*cough* DICs), are the gatekeepers of our time. It is absolutely terrifying how much power and control they wield.

In this forum in Genmay, I'm CONSTALY attacked about blaming others for my problems, even though I go out of my way to point out that I believe that I'm my own worst enemy. It seems a lot of folks here think that FB is somehow worse than slavery or Jim Crow. Like somehow, there weren't forces that are beyond one's control that screw up lives but FB is.

You understand that slavery has also evolved, right? There's no need to ship people from Africa while you can stifle their incomes and keep to inner cities. In regards to Facebook, it keeps most of the stupid "populi" distracted and dumb as intended. Did you just mention Martin Luther King? Wasn't he the guy your liked teenage pus... so much?

So basically my read from this is that your opinion is that you can see that some people might be unhappy about it, but they should shut up and deal with it because your family had to deal with bad stuff in the past. Or else they should start a "social movement" to stop it.

I guess criticising companies doesn't constitute a part of that social movement in your opinion, we should all just "grow a pair" and deal with it, without complaining on public forums of course, since people who do complain clearly bug you.

That's already happening, it has nothing to do with who is president. Granted, if the next President was actually the one that won versus the orange twitter troll, very little would change.

No, they should make SPECIFIC claims of personal damage for as long as it takes. My father, who was 5 years older than MLK went to segregated schools, served in a segregated Army in WW II, who was paid less throughout most of his life because what he was dealt with it. And he was a nobody that few gave a shit about it for whatever reason. I get the idea of being "oppressed" first hand. It's going to take a genius well beyond MLK's to end the "oppression" of Facebook.

My point being, FB isn't the law.

Huh? MLK was a communist. He had many faults. Not sure what your problem with him is here.

I'm not sure what your point is here. You keep bringing that up, but what's MLK and the civil rights movement in the USA got to do with Facebook et al.'s disrespect of people's privacy information?

Many in this thread are proclaiming a powerful force is damaging their lives. So? That's nothing new and people had to deal with it.

But yeah, resist.

At least five times as many people who were under slavery are about to lose their health insurance.
I'm being told this and that and everything. Until the bill comes, who knows?
 
I'd pretty much vote for whomever ran against him. What a typical rich liberal twat he's become.

HAHAHA... you think Facebook is a social media company? Facebook is an advertising and data aggregation company. Their goal isn't to make a social media platform, it's to collect data and monetize it. You say Zuckerburg is "what's wrong with facebook", you couldn't be farther from the truth. He isn't the bug, he's the feature.

In other words, FB has done nothing to you personally that you know of or are willing to admit here. When you make the claim you did and provide a totally meaningless answer, the only logical deductions to be made are these.

You're just too short sighted to understand. You're one of the follower sheep as we've seen previously. Facebook robs people of their dignity, privacy and intellect. It feeds on their vanity and fills their time with the filthy excrement called the social media. Even that is not enough, the corporation exploits the users mercilessly, recording their lives to their database. There are stories of banks using Facebook profiles in credit reviews. As if all of this wasn't bad enough, Facebook is a breeding ground for all sorts of perverts, terrorists and criminals.

If Devil could choose one thing to make, I would bet it would be Facebook.
 
No clue who it will be other than that it will be another rich person who has no idea how the rest of us eke out a living week to week while they spend more in one day than we do in a month or two.

Oh and they'll say they actually care about how hard it is for you and I while they line their own pockets with more money and do nothing to help us.

So basically, more of the same shit that keeps going on in our government.
 
And you though the development of the surveillance state over the past 16 years was bad :p

Invent is a strong word considering Myspace was around for 6 months prior to facebook, and he was hired to build it for someone else, then basically kept it for himself. He is looked at as the code monkey equivalent of a lottery winner. Add in his arrogance at being that lottery winner, sprinkle in his full on embrace of the failure that is identity politics, and being suspected of using Facebook to assist in pushing his political preferences, and you might get why he is not well liked. The people crying over privacy concerns should just quit Facebook. The sooner they do the better off they will be. It really is not any loss.

I don't use facebook because I don't see any use for it. The people I want to keep up with, I can do so with a call, a text, or an email.

Why would anyone think the surveillance state is something new to a brother? Like somehow in 2005 or whatever, Mark Zuckerberg invented that?

Those who want to dismantle the Electoral College want a handful of liberal cities to run roughshod over the rest of the country. All the while crying about the little guy not being represented...and flyover states (which is all there would be if the EC were abolished). If it weren't for NYC, there's a very good chance that NYS would be a red state. It's a similar situation in CA. But to them, people outside of those cities don't matter...you know...the little guys.

He may not have invented it, but he did get people to willingly opt-in.

You clearly don't understand the difference between FB and Jim Crow. Plenty thought JC was beautiful and a great solution to a centuries old problem. It wasn't. I won't someone to point out what FN has done to them? Did FB make you piss in a certain bathroom? Has FB made you live in a certain neighborhood? Has FB made you take a certain job? Has FB done any of these things to anyone posting about the evils of it?

No brother who understand the police state would. I own property, anyone could have found that before FB. Because that's been public record forever? Again, FB is some evil force that not one person in this thread has pointed to anything specific to causing them harm. I call BS. You are the master of yourself or you're not. You control your destiny or you don't. It's that simple.

Those who blame "the man" be it Trump or Facebook or anyone else didn't get the memo. You're either the master of your own fate or not. Again, simple.
