Social media continues to be a dangerous place for radicalisation and profiting from sensitive data big corps should be highly regulated on. Twitter seems to be doing the right things to combat it but the Zuck is a pure physcopath.
The only way to stop it is we move to more ethical websites/apps. This includes Instagram and Whatsapp which are all FB owned.
Dismantling big tech monopolies must happen, but it amazes me for all the (rightly so) tech paranoia around TikTok and CCP links there is worse going on in our own back yard.
We also need to somehow unf*ck the brains of millions who have been manipulated by bombardments of misinformation too, the damage is too deep to just switch off the internet and it goes away at this point. [Post edited 29 Aug 2020 14:20]

For what it's worth, i closed down my Facebook account both personal and business last month. It's all i can do and yet it felt good. We each have a choice to not be part of what is clearly a very destructive website |  | | |

I feel I am more than capable of succeeding in life without the need to demand censorship of things like Facebook. Life is short, if you spend so long looking for problems and complaining it will be over before you've found a way to enjoy it |  |

WTF! The lack of self awareness here is astonishing! |  |

I think you're confusing ' a lack of censorship' with 'people being allowed to incite, spread hate and dangerous falsehoods unpunished' here. |  |

Agreed.
There’s nothing wrong with the original Mercury to Pluto lineup. |  |

Boycotting Facebook won't change that. Education will change that | |

This is like saying we shouldn't punish burglars because people should know better than to have stuff that people want to steal. | |

Like all social media, if you engage your brain before using it then Facebook is absolutely fine..can be very useful, entertaining and informative. Twitter is worse by far IMO... |  | | |

It's the point l always make. Don't use it. That's the only way to deal with it. Plus you don't see all the cr@p on there that is so wrong with the world. |  | | |

Let's not pretend Twitter is without it's problems.
I won't link accounts as it's pretty grotesque stuff, but the fact that MAP accounts are allowed to carry on makes me lose faith in all forms of social media... |  |

Carole Whatsherchops has been doing some sterling work on this and getting massive amounts of grief as a result. |  |

I have inadvertently boycotted it from day 1 - never seen the need to have an account. |  | | |

Same here. Although I do have to use Facebook-owned Whatsapp for the kids activities, and don't feel too happy having to use it given everything that's coming out around Facebook. | |

Twitter has issues but no where near as bad and they’re doing more to solve them so credit there.
I remember an old boss once said to me;
With all previous social networks the question was “When will it die?” but with Facebook the question is “How do we kill it?” | |

Remove politics from Facebook & remove anonymous, faceless accounts from twitter, in fact remove politics from both. Politics used to be intelligent... | | | |
