"Primum non nocere."
I cannot help but laugh at this statement. I think Facebook has done, and is still doing, way more harm than good for society. Like many other addiction-based services, it generated massive revenues for very few people, at the expense of society.
- andrei_says_ 8y agoThe doublespeak is staggering. Fb is in the business of destroying people’s privacy, robbing them of their attention, and manipulating political choices for the highest bidder. It walls off people’s relationships and communication and focuses on making its product as addictive as possible. Even if we don’t mention some of the darkest practices like defrauding children of money, FB is intentionally evil, and they know it. I just re-watched Cal Newport’s talk on social media and I’m enjoying my second week without fb and Twitter. Highly recommended. https://youtu.be/3E7hkPZ-HTk https://youtu.be/3E7hkPZ-HTk
- stickfigure 8y agoMy friends and I derive significant value from keeping in touch via Facebook. I find your attitude condescending and insulting.
