Facebook is out of control

lundi 6 juillet 2020 à 02:00

*Facebook is out of control. If it were a country it would be North Korea.* One man decides whether to allow it to wreak havoc on any particular target.

People say they need to try to use Facebook to persuade people of something-or-other. But even if something-or-other is a good thing, Facebook is a much bigger bad thing. Because if you think you are using Facebook, really Facebook is using you.

So don't be a zucker! And don't encourage anyone else to be a zucker.

For Facebook to cease to mistreat its useds would require big changes. But ceasing to promote hate, lies and violence (above love, truth and peace) requires only changing the propagation system to reduce the R value that polarizing statements tend to get on Facebook. Censorship, as such, is not necessary.
