Violet Blue is lucky because she has a platform and her problems will get notice. Everyone else just deals with their life quietly, and we the public don't get a good grasp of the problem.
- sigmar 11y agoThat's a nice thought, but the facebook problems she mentions (harassment/trolling/doxing) are only exacerbated with more publicity.
- hugh4 11y ago> Everyone else just deals with their life quietly And it works out great for most of us. Want to deal with facebook? Use facebook. Don't want to deal with facebook? Don't use facebook. Not that tricky.
- MichaelGG 11y agoNah, it's beneficial for people to publicly complain about things like this. So long the claims are true or reasonable it's good to pressure companies into changing bad policies. Only thing I'd question is that she's had to "bury" a lot of people due to FB and that there's such a dangerous threat to her safety from this. It could be true (especially in years past or in shitty countries) just seems extraordinary and should have citations. I'd be surprised if FB tricked users into revealing personal information, got them killed, and wasn't sued like crazy.
