oh yeah the...wife In all seriousness, it's mainly about how FB denies it's a media company and takes no responsibility for the effect of fake news. Also I have a liberal filter bubble on there, and I really don't want to read a bunch of posts about Trump for the next four years. I already see enough about him in the news.

Blue Train posted:facebook is poo poo but theyre actually right in this case. can't take responsibility for the stupidity of your users I mean, what is it 60% of people say FB is their primary news source? Whether they like it or not, they are for all intents and purposes a news organization, and need to be held to the same standards. At the very least, there needs to be much less of the filter bubble effect. If you're allowed to see something clearly made up, like the pope endorsing Trump, you should have a chance to see something disproving that. Here's something I saw yesterday about FB influencing elections in other countries, including Duterte using it to spread lies in his presidential campaign. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/technology/fake-news-on-facebook-in-foreign-elections-thats-not-new.html quote:Facebook’s power is often stronger overseas than it is in the United States. In many developing countries with populations new to both democracy and social media, experts said, fake stories can be more widely believed. And in some of these countries, Facebook even offers free smartphone data connections to basic public online services, some news sites and Facebook itself — but limits access to broader sources that could help debunk fake news. actionjackson fucked around with this message at 00:27 on Nov 19, 2016 |

Well they could not flat out lie like Mark and say the proliferation of fake news is "rare" on the site

Is there a legit reason to use facebook daily unless you are literally my homebound neighbor who had a stroke and uses it because it's the only way he can talk with people

I Was The Fury posted:Language came out right after I finished college so I learned how to communicate with people in such crazy ways as grunts and physical violence It's true, the development of FB was just as critical as spoken language Anyway it's obviously great to use for certain things like you've mentioned (i.e. people in other parts of the world), but I don't think that's what most people are primarily using it for. And I'm not really comfortable with using something for "free" when the cost is selling information about myself to advertisers. If you want to communicate with someone in another part of the world you can always just email them
