Can Facebook be a dick?

RE: Can Facebook be a dick?
It's account specific apparently. Facebook's system somehow identifies you as at risk and wants you to download software (Made by McAfee, a company that they've partnered with).

Basically you're probably not at risk and they want you to download software made by their buddies. Or alternatively, it could be an actual phishing site.

That's more like it!

I ditched my FB years ago.

I'm a FB OG. Had that shit when it was just colleges. It carries a certain nostalgia for me.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I always preferred Twitter but I don't even use that much these days. Got bored with the whole social media thing after a while.

Smartphone apps have killed sitting down at a computer to use social media. I never actually log into my Facebook account or post anything anymore, I just use the messenger on my phone

Instagram, Snapchat and Whatsapp have pretty much killed Facebook.

I had MySpace back in the day but I haven't logged in for years. Can't even remember my login details now.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."

Well, I have gone to using the app on my phone, which ironically makes me post less on there than before. I've always used my computer for most everything, while the phone mainly serves as a writing app.

FB is a marketing profile generator to pester you with personalised ads. There's no more to it.
