Facebook is dying. Hooray?

i saw a post a couple days ago about a drug called meow meow...it made a kid cut his pecker off and try to kill his momma. Then at the very end of the read it goes on to say that they attached his weiner back to his body like were supposed to feel bad for him. I'd left him with a vigina personally.

Why is having a vagina worse than having a re-attached dick? Drug didn't made him do shit, deep unresolved Oedipian issues did.

Is there any way that we can stuff the rotting corpses of the Kardashians into the dead shell left behind by the dead facebook??

FB a gaming site designed to garner your info under the guise of a friendship request, all social networking is about the data...never about what the site does.

Don't worry. Time is coming for them.

As a primarily teen / young adult platform, it's death knells were sounding once parents started using it. It'll be many, many years before it goes belly-up though. It's just too cheap to run not too.

Sounds good to me.... never had anything to do with those social network sites.
Everybody is into everybody's shit, no privacy.

 

[gR33nDav3l0l]

What is this privacy thing I keep reading on the internet? There is nothing remotely private on the internet.

 

[NevaSmokedOut]

whats gonna replace that, a friend site for toddlers?

There is no privacy on the net, yep.
Sites, like FB just encourage you to expose yourself and others to expose info on you as well. Just like a big rumor mill.

I'm on Fb, I'm not afraid to say it..
What's the big deal, NSA is going to find out I'm into formula one and pix of hot chics in fishnets and garters?
I also happen to like cars.. oh yeah, and pot, love me some pot..
Let me go lock the door, they're coming to get me.. omfg, run forest run..

You should look their fixed costs and payroll up in their corp report. I agree with your first point though. Sure Facebook will still exist. So does MySpace.

It is considerably more insidious than that. I am not worried about the NSA, they got shit better'n this. I am talking completely unfettered, clandestine corporate data gathering. There are companies that specifically exist in order to run great masses of uploaded FB pictures through facial recognition software. "Don't tag me, bro" hasn't worked in a couple years. They know. I object to such things. My data is my right and I won't allow these predators any more access than I must. Saw on the Colbert last night that a bunch of dickheads designed and deployed a garbage can that would read the depositors cell phone numbers - for advertising!

Facebook sold it's soul and now will probably pay for it. Sure, Zuckerberg will always be one of the richest peeps alive, but somebody is going to end up holding this bag of crap.

This technology is already every where, I'm sure it doesn't begin and end with Facebook, that's for damn sure..
I've got.more important shit to worry about then someone knowing what my face looks like..
The future is here now, I'm not going to live in a cave and kill my own food as a result..
Fuck it, you want me? Here I am, you'll never take me alive coppers..

Even if YOU have nothing to hide, I would expect you to be sensitive about people's privacy concerns. But I suspect that you just may not appreciate the consequences.

Right now, grocery/pharmacy chains can predict (with fairly high certainty) when a woman becomes pregnant by her shopping habits - before she even knows. What if they sell this info to "right to life" supporters?

On one hand, you got your computers. And on the other hand, you got your databases. And when you mix the two, we all end up with our own personal version of Rainman dogging our asses for just pennies a day. Trust me, you keep this shit up and it's gonna get all "Brave New World" and "1984".

i understand your cause for alarm, pardon my sarcasm..

but honestly, what is a person to do? don't shop at cvs or they're going to know when my wife is gonna get preggers, don't go on facebook or they might know what my face looks like, and that i like hot naked girls, don't do this or they might, ........., where does it end?

what do you recommend we do about this, live in a cave and shy away from all modern technology?? serious question btw, as i don't really see any way of getting around all of this modern technology unless you go all kilcher and live on a homestead in alaska, but shit, i still follow eiven and eve kilcher on fb, so that don't work too well either..

 

[anzohaze]

I deleted facebook a few years ago. Its dumb bullshit its good for police its good for knowing everyones life to a T and its good for idiots. I am smarter then most and deleted everything eexceptfor riu. The only thing that lets me talk to random ass people its not 100% safe but better then facebook. The more secretive my personal life is rhe better I am and less chances for trouble.

You didn't delete facebook. You deactivated it. Your info is still there on their servers somewhere.

There is an urgent need for meaningful regulatory restrictions on business. But that would be socialist of fascist or some shit. You know, biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig gub'mint.
But until then, I just rage against the machine. Sometimes I order shit on Amazon just to fuck with their profile. Yes. Yes I am a catheter using Buddhist who likes Nickelback and takes frequent vacations to Delaware. Yup.
