So at any given moment, we're only allowed to criticize one thing - the worst thing in the entire world? After all, anything else is, you know, not that bad.

- spazrunaway 6y agoYes. We need a hell of a lot less destructive criticism that leads to war.
- sp332 6y agoThat is why I'm anti-Facebook. Remember the role they played in the Myanmar genocide?
- u801e 6y agoWhich genocide are you referring to?

Although facebook didn't invite this violence directly, they were the primary tool of propaganda. Now I'm not saying it's easy to solve this problem but facebook seems to be actively overlooking these things as it has happened repeatedly.
- csemaan 6y agoThe problem is the constant naïve pounding on FB prompted by MSM hacks (drill a little bit and you'll discover the motivation: some of it surfaces from time to time, like the obvious blackmailing of FB by mass media in Australia, Canada, most of European countries, and maybe soon coming to the USA).
- jamespo 6y agoWhat's your motivation with this account, that seemingly only exists to defend FB?
- csemaan 6y agoThat's true, I barely ever contributed here (maybe never), although I enjoy reading and following the comments. I have always been annoyed by the naïve FB-hate, particularly because it forced FB to cave to the media powers. There came a once in a lifetime opportunity to free us from the 'one-eyed-propaganda' of media conglomerates, and us the victims, shot the only probable source of escape.

Have you seen the rampant propaganda and manipulation of facts from social-media-driven left wing and right wing groups? It is far more inaccurate and vile.
- csemaan 6y agoThat's exactly why I think it could have saved us from the one-eyed worldview of media powers. Just weed through the forest and work your brain to collect 'information'.
- merpnderp 6y agoHe did not say “don’t criticize” he said to “lay off the hate” which to me means make sure your criticism is measured and reasonable. Laying off the hate is likely just good advice all the time.
