Facebook has faced a number of privacy concerns. These stem partly from the company’s revenue model that involves selling information about its users, and the loss of privacy this could entail. In addition, employers and other organizations and individuals have been known to use Facebook data for their own purposes. As a result, individuals' identities have sometimes been compromised without their permission. In response, pressure groups and governments have increasingly asserted the users’ right to privacy and to be able to control their personal data.

While I agree with the sentiment of the title, it shouldn't be editorialized.

  Yes, that was bad. Submitted title was "Facebook Wi-Fi: Just Say No". This broke the site guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

In the near future dystopia all tenants are hosting own Facebook Wi-Fi on their apartments. You can browse your neighbors' social media by connecting to every network one by one. With Facebook app you can simply go all through and get their feed. Everyone knows each other in the building while they have never talked. Every local shop is using high range Wi-Fi on their stores, and Wi-Fi extenders are in high demand instead of whole wall sized ads. Roof space and different frequency rates of WiFi and band channels are for sale. The battle from the local customers is raising, and the strongest signal wins. All you need to do, is to say aloud that I need milk, and grocery store signal appears. While you check their feed, your favorite soy milk seems to be on sale if you buy at least 5 bottles.

If you are more interested in what this actually is rather than how to configure it, drop the “/getting-started”, just https://www.facebook.com/facebook-wifi https://www.facebook.com/facebook-wifi
