The joke is young people don't use Facebook anymore. Those most interested in policing and shaping it seem to be German internet-clueless politicians and activists in their 50s and 60s. Meanwhile half of web/IT jobs on German market require React.
- esarbe 9y agoI don't understand what you want to say. Your points don't seem relevant to the issues the article raises. Care to elaborate? Thanks!
- ubernostrum 9y agoI figured it was some new variation on the ancient Slashdot meme of "In Korea, only old people use (insert name of technology)..."
- emodendroket 9y agoTwo billion people use Facebook a month. More than a quarter of humanity. https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/27/facebook-2-billion-users/ https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/27/facebook-2-billion-users/
- zo1 9y agoI call BS on that number. Probably half or more of those users are fake/bots, just like on Twitter. If I can casually browse through my friends' friend list or posts on groups and see obvious fake/bot profiles with ridiculously easy to spot names, then FB has a huge problem. They don't even "catch" the obvious ones. Some users are businesses, too. I used to report both of those groups and then wait for them to get removed. It happened once only. I don't bother anymore.
- emodendroket 9y agoEven if fully half are somehow fake and it's only a billion people, it's still a staggering number of people.
