The question isn't whether Facebook is relevant to you. It's whether it's relevant to 300 million other people.
If a problem as 300 million causes, you still have a problem if you cut that down to 299,999,999.
- harryf 9y agoSociety has always been manipulated. Facebook has nothing on religions for example. The real question is whether an individual checking out from Facebook harms themselves in some way e.g. less able to find work? We just need to make sure Facebook never gets endorsement as some kind of identity / passport.
- DFHippie 9y ago> Society has always been manipulated. True. And people have always murdered each other. But when millions of people are murdering each other we call it war. My body is fighting some millions of germs right now. If you add an order of magnitude or two to that I'll be sick. Or dead. A camel can carry a lot of straw. Enough straw can crush a camel. At some point we have to deal with the problem.
- monaghanboy 9y agoSo far it hasn't harmed me, and I haven't had an active account in 8+ years. I believe this actually helps me, though I can't really quantify or prove it.

- adrianratnapala 9y agoOk, I get it that no man is an island and all. But if your happiness is so dependent on other people that even change your life this much, then you already have a deeper problem that is elses fault. (I don't mean that everyone should get off Facebook. But I do mean it for the crowd that somehow they hate facebook but yet think they are dependent on it.)
