2. Yep, they don't give a damn about the future of the US or the populace. They are ONLY

interested in raking in all the CASH they can. To them, the country can go to hell and if the populace died off, they could care less. The GOP has become an invasive disease.

3. One can only hope that it comes back to bite them in the ass later.

4. After seeing that movie about how Facebook came about

I knew Zuckerberg was a major jerk and his actions in regards to ignoring privacy for users and giving into MF45 is no shocker.

9. I agree I often think about that movie too. nt

11. Yes, at its origins it was a sick prank (on women at Harvard)...

...and it ended up being a sick prank on democracy.

5. Facebook is malware for democracy.

She is 100% right.

15. Absolutely great way to put it!

That sentence of yours should be spread far and wide.

6. And yet, we still have Facebook apologists on DU.

7. I think they're defending social media, not Facebook itself

I see countless pro vs con threads where people explain why the Facebook media format is important to them , but never anyone defending Facebook's practices

[TwilightZone]

12. Agreed.

It's possible to find their actions reprehensible but consider the site useful for some purposes. I have an acquaintance who has a huge family and FB is by far the easiest way for them to share info, keep in contact, etc.

13. No, I pretty regularly see posts saying "using Facebook is just fine because...."

Using Facebook in any way is contributing to the problem.

8. Nancy is 100% correct.

[not fooled]

14. fuckerberg sure looks happy

meeting red don.

That's my first thought every time I see that photo. Next thought is wanting to throw up. Two sociopaths celebrating the hijacking of democracy. Three, counting thiel in the next photo.

Madame Speaker is 100% correct.

10. There really needs to be a movement: 🖕🏼Fuck Facebook. nt

[rockfordfile]

16. It's a un-American company

[Ponietz]

17. Facebook is like swimming in a sewer.

I chuckle reading posts from those declaiming their love of swimming and “managed” use of that sewer. So many can’t even imagine a better world anymore.

18. Good leaders uplift wherever they go.

You should know Pelosi is a good leader and her communicating with FB's users only benefits them.
