Not many people under 50? I don’t know the exact demographics, but Facebook is the new MySpace. The younger crowd isn’t even into Twitter that much anymore. It’s mainly Insty and SnapChat. My mom, mother-in-law, and their friends are all about Facebook.
Breaking News on this site leans right.
Agreed. Good post. BTW, I *don’t* have a Facebook account, secondary to most of the reasons listed above. Schmuckerberg can waste someone else’s time.
Having experienced FB censoring first hand yes they do censor pro-conservative viewpoints or anti-muslim articles that were based on truth.
Nobody is compelled to use Fakebook, and to do so, is only to open no further than you wish to reveal.
+1
I agree. I was simply pointing out that the cool kids aren’t using it anymore.
So true. I enjoy FB, especially since I’ve been housebound quite a bit lately.
It’s for personal use only and I do not use it to post any political stance good or bad.
It’s a place to share pics and general life updates with friends. It takes some self control, because I’d love to share certain political findings. But, I don’t. Honestly, I wish more people would leave politics off FB.
As a publicly traded company Facebook, and Zuckerberg, are ultimately answerable to shareholders.
Very true. Facebook is used by the ‘parents’. Teens and young adults still have accounts, but hardly use them. They use Instagram and Snapchat.
It’s true, but the point about acting like Progressives and using indignation as a weapon is especially pertinent.
Indignation is a VERY useful and powerful weapon. As Progressives have demonstrated over the past few generations. Why shouldn’t it be used by Conservatives? Is the refusal to use it, on the basis that Conservatives don’t stoop to using Progressive tactics, unilateral disarmament?
“Facebook is the new MySpace”
which was the new AOL, which was the new CompuServe, which was the new BBS. Younger users have moved on past Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and are staying into something else.
I’ve been on digital social media for decades. Every major site is world-changing, everyone is on it, it’s the one big thing always and ever, it defines the country and culture, it’s wonderful, it’s subversive evil, it’s gone and forgotten.
It’s not just cool kids , it’s pretty much most kids and young adults. The parents took over FB.
65 year old baby boomers are all over facebook. Under 30’s? Not so much.
Facebook and Google are leftist propaganda outlets, which is fine until they argue that they aren’t. And then it’s just ridiculous.
Absolutely correct. My kids are 17-20. They never had facebook. When we gave them the option to setup accounts at age 13 or so, they weren’t interested in the least.
Snapchat and Instagram.
The person has a great point.
Facebook should admit that do slant it, but that’s about it. That way people can make an informed decision.
Beyond that, you don’t have to read it.
