The Party's over.
The hangover now begins......................
Pissing-off the half of your customer base that actually has money is not a good business model.
Facebook is becoming MySpace
to me, Facebook is a mere curiosity and an interesting toy. Quite average among all the other gadgets, programs, media and apps that I see every day. The idea that it is worth $400 billion is completely absurd.
Facebook is the next “My Space”. Someone and something better is on the way ...count on it.
Couldn’t happen to a better group.
I only hope it continues to die.
Stole his business idea
Stole all the shares from his BEST friend
Secretly sold users data
Stated in a confidential email to a friend that people who trust him are "dumb-f*cks".
Married in the community proprety state of California, the very day AFTER he took Facebook public.
Requested nude photos of users to protect them against the risk of revenge porn.
Secretly tried to get hospitals to release vast stores of patient data so I can help cure diseases.
Initially pursued total rights ownership of images uploaded to FB; if you'd been photoed as a happy youth with, say, a can of Coors then later got really famous, Zuck could be paid by Coors for zero work and YOUR old photo in a new ad while you, the centerpiece of the ad, would get NOTHING. Struck down after lengthy legal battles.
De-platformed numerous Conservatives because he didn't agree with their views, couldn't define hate-speech when asked by Congress.
Secretly requested banks give him his users' financial data, including transactions, so my users can check their balances on my site."
Digitally permitted his housing advertisers to filter out customers whose search histories were strongly associated with terms like "handicapped" , "mobility scooter" and "guidedog".
Admonished that people "build bridges instead of walls", all while building walls around his Palo Alto homes and around the huge Kauai Estate he bought and then threw the Hawaiians off of, an effort requiring 300 seperate lawsuits against local Hawaiian land claimants.
Established a "trustworthiness index" for ALL his facebook users while disclosing it to none of them.
Altered FB algorithms to flag content from conservative publications as spam.
Revered Augustus Caesar, leader of Rome who assured 200 years of peace via harsh rule, possibly arranging the execution of his own grandson. On a wedding anniversary trip to Rome, Zuck gushed so effusively over sculptures and monuments dedicated to Augustus that his wife joked that three people, not two, were on their trip.
For years, Zuck traditionally closed high-level Facebook executive meetings by shouting, "DOMINATION..!", perhaps half-jokingly.
Proposed installation in the homes of FB users special Facebook cameras that would follow and monitor users around as they went about their private lives inside their homes. But the cameras, Zuckerberg assured, would come with privacy settings which Facebook would, like, totally respect, or something.
Asked for user telephone numbers for 2 factor authentication but within weeks used that data for marketing purposes. If users chose to share their entire contact list, Facebook also shared that data with advertisers, even phone numbers of people who NEVER had a facebook account! After the Cambridge Analytica scandal FB pleged to reinvigorate user privacy but neither of these practices has stopped.
In the runup to the 2018 midterm elections, FB removed over 800 conservative political pages and accounts in a clamp down on what the social media company arbitrarily termed, inauthentic behavior. The ambitious political move affected 66 million FB users, most of them Conservative.
Permitted the search term "white genocide" to be used as a targeting criterion to aim advertising for products at 170,000 users who interacted with that subject.
When at their SF HQ in 2016 FB employees replaced a mural slogal, "Black Lives Matter" with the words, "All Lives Matter", Zuck retured the slogan to its original and reprimanded the employees as "malicious and disrespectful".
Period.
I quit well over a year ago...................
Why anyone would invest in a company with little or no tangible assets was always puzzling. I guess they wanted to ride the gravy train, now it’s headed for a cliff..................
Awwwww! So suckerburg is now only worth $1.3 gazillion dollars for something he stole anyway? Hardly enough to complete his wall around his property in Hay-why-ee.
I wonder who will be the first advertiser to sue FB over all of the fake memberships.
If you own a business, or are on the governing board of some sort of enterprise which provides WiFi, block social media sites.
Tons of freepers have F B pages you would be real surprised if you knew who some of them are
Gave Chuck the Schmuck $50K to run interference in the Senate for FB, then hired the youngest daughter for $160K/yr.
Good riddance to Fakebook...I don’t use Fakebook and don’t want them mining my personal data.
Our Sears is closing, and our Kmart will soon die as well....................B^(
