- naaaaak 8y agoI’m stealing this tip and propagating it.
- smt88 8y agoI can't begin to express my horror at the idea of a well-meaning parent funneling their child into a pit of abhorrent fear-mongering, bigotry, and conspiracy theories. I sincerely hope this was a weird joke.
- userbinator 8y agoI bet it was a weird joke in the hacker sense --- however "not even wrong" the content of InfoWars is, you have to admit that it is a lot more thought-provoking than Facebook.
- smt88 8y agoI don't disagree with blocking children from Facebook. Replacing it with InfoWars would be a medicine that's worse than the disease.
- amf12 8y agoExactly! Teaching them the importance of privacy and the harm of social media would be a hundred times better than redirecting facebook.com to infowars.com. I would be pissed off if my parents had done that to me.
- sAbakumoff 8y agoYeah, and in 20 years you kid will have an appointment with the AI driven shrink developed by Facebook...and it will be seriously pissed off when it finds out that you redirected facebook to infowars. Be ready!
- elkos 8y agoI would redirect them to Diaspora, if they want to get social they better get social on an open platform :P
