I'm not aware of any religion that disallows the use of Facebook. Correctly or not, preferences are given more credence by our society if they're based on religion.

- Triumvark 15y ago> I'm not aware of any religion that disallows the use of Facebook. I suppose the Amish probably aren't interested in Spotify...
- vacri 15y agoI imagine you're right, that the Amish aren't particularly interested in online music services, but I remember reading an article that pointed out that the Amish aren't really anti-technology per se, they're anti-labour-saving devices. The ethos is apparently to work hard and with your hands, and they have no qualms in letting people with physical issues use tech; the example given in the article was a farmer who had arthritis and whose sons had moved out, who was permitted to use a tractor in order to keep his farm going.

- astrodust 15y agoThere are some that take a religious sort of attitude towards not handing out personal information and/or interacting with entities that will, of which Facebook is surely a terrible offender. Some people won't even use Google for this reason.
