I keep wondering when some conservative techies will start conservative versions of Facebook and Twitter. Maybe they would say “No one can overtake Facebook and Twitter” but overtaking them wouldn’t be the point. If they could get even 5% of their users they would still make quite a bit of money, plus they would be doing a great public service, which should count for something.

I dumped facebook and I avoid google. I do still have my netflix though and I own an amazon stick thingy.

His stockholders will care, a lot

Maybe, maybe not.

The owners and shareholders of CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc., don't seem to care. They love left-wing media bias, it looks like to me anyway.

That should happen to twitter.

Many conservatives are on Facebook. The way to kill Facebook is for no conservatives to click on any advertisement on the site. Advertisements are the financial life blood of Facebook. Facebook has expenses in the multi millions of dollars to maintain their site. If you visit the site and do not click on their advertisements you become a net drain on their capital.

Do not delete your account. Visit Facebook often but never, never, never click on an advertisement. If you do this you become a net capitol loss to Facebook.

Conservative Schadenfreude is a dish served cold.

I forgot to add, do not ever give personal information in your profile to Facebook. That personal information is quite valuable for marketing purposes. Be a net drain on their financial structure.

Revenge of Diamond and Silk.

do not ever give personal information in your profile to Facebook.

I realized that Facebook does not need for me to divulge my information to know a lot about me. They figure it out from who my friends are and what THEY may post to me or about me. For example, I may not say that I have a daughter, but if my daughter links me as her father, now they have that relationship and I never gave it to them.

I cancelled my Facebook profile a few months ago and have not missed it.

Today’s dose of schadenfreude in the Era of Trump.

[Bommer]

Most people don’t click on the advertisements. I disagree continuing to go to Facistbook. They track traffic volume. When he looks she’s audience, his stock looses money. It’s time we show all these @ssholes from Fakebook to Holleywood where the money comes from. Boycott them into a van down by the river!

Do not delete your account.

I don't have a FB account. Never have. Never will.

BINGO

“I keep wondering when some conservative techies will start conservative versions of Facebook and Twitter.”

I keep wondering what would happen to Twitter if PDJT were to announce that his preferred medium for communication no longer will be Twitter, but GAB or similar. It could be that Twitter will take a nosedive like no other within 24 hours. I would love to see that!

“His stockholders will care, a lot”

Maybe many FReepers are customers and don’t really know it. Is Facebook “hidden” in some of our portfolios as part of a larger batch?

[Chickensoup]

gab and MIND are out there

I don’t see many people there.

[MayflowerMadam]

“gab and MIND are out there. I don’t see many people there.”

I wonder how quickly that would/could change if Trump took his business to one of them. Interesting to think about.

“Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’re Facebook’s customer, you’re not – you’re the product. It's customers are the advertisers.”

And when candidate Obama looted Facebook of personal data for his campaign. Zuckerberg was right there helping Obama take whatever he wanted.

===================================

Let's stroll down memory lane.

ITEM---Circa 3/13/17 Zuckerberg referred to a dinner he and other Silicon Valley leaders had about a month ago.

ITEM---Here’s the news article edzo4 dug up
http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/03/13/former-president-obama-visits-with-tech-leaders-in-silicon-valley/

ITEM---Back in 2011, it was not revealed who Obama met with during his visit to San Jose; as a private citizen, Obama is not obligated to say.

ITEM---Edzo4 found this photo of the dinner from the Mercury News

ITEM---And edzo4 found this blog that names the attendees.

ATTENDEES INCLUDED: Obama, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Reed Hastings.

==========================================

Maxine Waters blabbed about Obama compiling a vast data base on every American---like nothing before it----to be used by campaigning Democrats

...Is Facebook “hidden” in some of our portfolios as part of a larger batch?

That’s possible, how would I know if one or more of my funds include Facebook, I’d have to “Trust” that the funds are interested more in making money than politics, ....hmmmm....

Go to zacks, put in the fund symbol, view all of the holdings.
