- echelon 6y agoThat's sick. Why do we tolerate this nonsense?
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWe don't, we just don't have any power to stop it, other than shrugging and moving away from FB ourselves, which a lot of people have done already.
- dylan604 6y ago"We don't..." I turn to look at the 50 people that don't while the billions of other FB users have no idea about it. This is why you have no power to stop it.
- rStar 6y agodon’t work at facebook
- laksdjfkasljdf 6y ago"i don't work here. I just volunteer several hours of my day creating engaging content to a billion dollar company for free"

- davidw 6y agoI get far less attention on very serious political posts with my own writing and thinking than I do posting a funny picture on FB. And my FB contacts are pretty aligned with me politically, so it's not as if they're uninterested.
- bjoli 6y agoI haven't been on Facebook for about 6 years, so I'm kind of out of the loop. I need more info about this. That's wicked.
- brokenmachine 6y agoFacebook is a pseudo-monopoly that does anything evil it can, whenever it can. There, now you're up to date. Oh wait, actually it was the same 6 years ago as well.
