- whatevthrow31 9y agoI've been at both companies. I highly doubt HN is filled with Google employees bashing Facebook.
- adrianlmm 9y agoThen, who are those people?
- naasking 9y agoAre you suggesting that only Google employees can hate and distrust Facebook?
- adrianlmm 9y agoIt is weird that Facebook always get bashed for privacy and Google (who is even worse in that aspect) always get a free pass, just saying.
- icanhackit 9y agoIn my case, someone who thinks that it dumbs-down the population, leaving them in an echo chamber of made-up bullshit, lifestyle signalling and narcissism. My position does ignore the positive aspects of Facebook like finding old acquaintances, coordinating social events etc, but then even cannibalism has its bright sides.

- icanhackit 9y ago> Don't live the life of others > is not your problem You're wrong on both counts. Having an opinion regarding a social media platform, particularly one that can affect the fabric of society, is totally reasonable on a discussion forum hosted on Y Combinator. It's no more living the life of others than having an opinion on war, politics or famine.
- adrianlmm 9y agowell, we dissagree.

- c3534l 9y agoThat's like what a mother tells a child to explain why the other kids are being mean to her: "they're just jealous of how pretty you are." And Hacker News talks shit about Google all the time. HackerNews is populated by youngish programmers: they're concerned about technology and the privacy and social implications that these policies bring.
