Zuckerberg: Kids under 13 should be allowed on Facebook
- chrisjsmith 15y agoI don't think any humans should be allowed on facebook. Zuckerberg is a nasty piece of work. Childish, careless and with obviously no respect for people. Throws a few million dollars at the education system in the US to buy some credit. There are a lot of engineers and scientists who contribute more to this world and they are utterly ignored in favour of that asshat.
- fossuser 15y agoSeems like a pretty extreme judgement and based on what he's been doing recently a bit unfounded.
- chrisjsmith 15y agoNot really. It's a pretty reasonable judgement based on that fact that most people see the positive things, rather than concentrate on the small details which are intentionally hidden by the big gestures. The small details slowly encroach on our privacy, our human rights and our ability to function without such things as social networks.

- phlux 15y agoKeep Zuckerberg as far away from kids as possible. He will treat them like "dumb fucks".
- indrekj 15y agoMost of the youngsters are spam machines.
- phlux 15y agoSpam targets.
- dlsspy 15y ago"That will be a fight we take on at some point," he said. "My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really, really young age." Sounds like a great reason to avoid Facebook, because I can assure you the kids who are spending time on Facebook today are doing it instead of expanding their education.
- pnathan 15y agoOh, brilliant, everyone's crush from the fourth grade gets recorded. The least mature among us, given the power to blow their 'internet history' for the rest of their lives. What am absolutely fantastic idea. If someone wants to support education, they should try a different startup, one dedicated to improving education, instead of providing new ways to distract onesself in class. Anecdote: I used to TA - occasionally I'd sit in on the main class. Only the 'front row nerds' would be taking notes on the computer, as a rule. The rest of the laptoppers were on facebook/myspace. Admittedly, I don't like Facebook/Twitter/Foursquare and the rest of the self-surveillance systems. So I'm biased.
