Seems it's time to admit that Facebook is a right wing terrorist support network.

4. Facebook is a fascist tool used by fascists

Stop using Facebook.

Really.

Get off that shit.

5. Yep, Facebook sucks big time

But try to convince the faithful to leave, including lots of DUers. People have all sorts of rationalizations for staying on Facebook.

6. When Mark Zuckerberg started facebook

He was an Atheist.

Mark Zuckerberg says he’s no longer an atheist, believes ‘religion is very important’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/12/30/mark-zuckerberg-says-hes-no-longer-an-atheist-believes-religion-is-very-important/

The founder of Facebook has found religion, it seems, according to a cheery holiday message he posted on the social network he created.

On Christmas Day, Zuckerberg indicated in a Facebook status that he was “celebrating Christmas.”

“Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah from Priscilla, Max, Beast and me,” he wrote, naming his wife, daughter and dog. Then a commenter asked him: Aren’t you an atheist?

Zuckerberg identified himself as an atheist for years, but on Facebook on Christmas he wrote back: “No. I was raised Jewish and then I went through a period where I questioned things, but now I believe religion is very important.”

7. Facebook works fine for me

I keep up with a couple of community groups and about 15 relatives and friends. Only one posts a lot of trash. Had her on "unfollow" for a while.

It keeps suggesting posts to read and new friends, but I ignore all that. None of my posts are public there.

What would a good alternative be?

8. Their algorithms can create bubbles of idiocy.

I heard so many young people quoting utter nonsense from their Facebook "news" stories, but they weren't particularly bright in the first place.

I'm even getting annoyed by my Goggle app lately. I used it to look up e-bikes a couple months ago, and now I get recommended websites regarding e-bikes constantly.

UK Group Files Lawsuit Over Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica Scandal
Published: Thursday, 29 October 2020 21:20
WRITTEN BY ELI MOSKOWITZ

A group representing nearly one million Facebook users in England and Wales who were affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal launched legal action against the social media giant on Thursday, according to a press release.
============
Their Facebook lawsuit in the U.K. follows a record-breaking $5 billion penalty imposed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in July of 2019, which also required that the company modify its corporate structure to make it more accountable for decisions it makes about its users’ privacy.

The FTC found that Cambridge Analytica misappropriated data from Facebook to build profiles of around 87 million users. The firm filed for insolvency in May of 2018, after it was said to have aided U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, along with a U.K. campaign to leave the European Union.

A recent OCCRP op-ed by Dr. Emma L. Briant, an associate researcher at Bard College who became a central figure in exposing wrongdoing by Cambridge Analytica in 2018, warned that governments around the world are failing to prevent similar scandals from happening in the future, as Cambridge Analytica’s parent firm continues to offer similar services with little oversight.

“Without effective regulation and oversight of companies that rely on personal data to modify behavior, it is just a matter of time before the next Cambridge Analytica-type scandal unfolds,” she said.

10. "But it allows me to keep in touch with my family and friends."

That’s what I hear anytime I bring the subject up in conversation.
