Zuck the Commie Schmuck

Welp, the gloves are off now that Sniffy Joe has pulled off the miracle of "getting" more votes than oh-so-historic Barack Hussein. Buddy of mine in Minnesota had a facebook page for a group of his coyote hunting buds. As of yesterday - Zip, Zap, Gone. For a perfectly legal sport. Glad I never signed up for that commie surveillance operation.

Far be it for me to defend Mark Zuckerburg = because far from being a Commie Rat he's actually sort of the poster boy for the soulless sort of Capitalist Pig who puts profit above all, even if his product is literally enabling genocide. Which it really is, in Myanmar, where a mass influx of dirt-cheap phones provided by Facebook - with Facebook enabled as the base operating system (of course!) - got into the country...and literally tore it apart. Anti-Rohingya lies and rhetoric flowed fast and furious, and what followed, and hundreds of thousands of them were killed or driven off by Myanmar's Buddhist majority. (It'd be fascinating to see what the Buddha himself would have said about fanatics committing genocide in his name, but nevermind that. Angry mobs seldom make much sense.)
But hey, at least Facebook made a ton of money in Myanmar. Tough luck for the Rohingya though.
Which really does beg the question: what were your unjustly censored friends saying on their coyote hunting page? Be interested to see if they were actually inciting or just got crosswise of an overly zealous Facebook algorithm.
What Zuckerberg is really about, by the way - there's actually a growing body of evidence Zuckerberg might be more directly responsible for the decline of politics and civility in the Western (and in fact entire!) world than anybody else alive: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebook-genocide.html

Something we agree upon. Facebook is evil. I'll toast a beer tonight to our rare likening of minds. Good link btw. Hadn't seen or heard that.

When even people on distinctly different sides of politics can look at a thing and agree completely: "You know, that thing right there might be a Doomsday Machine that's worse than at atomic bomb"...might we have stumbled upon the thing that's really dividing America as we've never seen it divided since 1860 or so?
Conservatives are actually late to the party on this one, IMHO...though it's good to see them getting here. Both sides of the spectrum are just now seeing how dangerous this beast is. You're worried about what Facebook is going to do, I'm worried about what it's already done and is doing even now.
Just saying. There's going to be a bunch of proposed legislation around the thing, of course...but is it really even possible to contain the enormous power to amplify misinformation and malice towards others that social media has?
It's going to be a tough ask, for sure. This beast is big.

anyone wants to be on Facebook or Instagram. It kind of blows my mind.
I do not care to keep up with anyone that doesnt call me periodically or that I see periodically.
I dont get it. At all.

the Bahamas, The Keys, Golden Retrievers, peopl in boats doing dumb stuff, and boats I'll never even ride in, much less be able to own. I've never posted anything as my lifestyle doesn't really lend it self to that kinda thing.
That facebook #### is stupid.
