So you know FB doesn't solicit funds or provide them
Facebook does, in fact, solicit funds -- from advertisers, and from users who want to send virtual gifts to their friends.
but you expected proof that FB was literally a ponzi scheme in the article?
No, I expected some argument to that effect.
Libel is written defamation, as opposed to slander which is for transitory statements.
No, defamation is one of the conditions for libel, but there are others: falsity and malicious intent being the most important.
I disagree that it's clearly defamation.
Allegations of criminal conduct are among the clearest categories of defamation.
Shrug indeed.
- nailer 16y agoMe> Everyone who uses Facebook knows it doesn't solicit, or give, money to/from its audience. There is zero question that Facebook is literally a ponzi scheme any more than it is literally a piece of shit. Me again> So you know FB doesn't solicit funds or provide them? You> Facebook does, in fact, solicit funds -- from advertisers... You're not listening to me. So I won't listen to you.
- gabrielroth 16y agoI assume you're implying that I missed the words "to/from its audience" in your comment. But when I read the headline "Facebook is a Ponzi scheme," why would I assume the author was claiming that the audience, rather than advertisers, were the victims of the Ponzi scheme? What's more, I wrote that Facebook solicits funds "from advertisers, and from users who want to send virtual gifts to their friends." You chose to leave that last part out. It's up to you whether you listen to me or not.
