We're setting a really bad precedent for the future here and these sorts of things need to stop now. Unfortunately, people don't seem to want to fight this.
Now we have people getting turned down for jobs because they DON'T have a facebook account[1]. What's next?

- Smudge 14y agoNo social media presence? Clearly you are a psychopathic recluse unfit for normal work. We only want employees who do normal things, like obsessively refreshing a particular website all day long.
- eyevariety 14y agoBrilliant!
- clobber 14y agoHaha I love it. This stuff really is disturbing though - society is getting worse as a result.
- psbp 14y agoFacebook is possibly the most dangerous social construct created. And no, it's not because privacy or information are too sacred to be utilized, but because personal identity is so easily perverted with market, institutional, societal interests. It's not hard to imagine a near future, if not a present, in which a person's identity is entirely evaluated, shaped, and determined by a monolith such as facebook.
- cynest 14y ago> It's not hard to imagine a near future, if not a present, in which a person's identity is entirely evaluated, shaped, and determined by a monolith such as facebook. I don't think this is entirely correct. I think that facebook is better described as a catalyst for those who would do the evaluating, shaping, etc.
- vidarh 14y agoThe question then is how long before someone creates a business around "staging" your Facebook profile to fit certain profiles.
