Just Stick to Programing

Mark Zuckerberg has revealed deep-seated concerns that the tide is turning against globalisation.

Or in short, losing money via members of FB dropping the app and moving on.

Quote:

In an interview with the BBC, the Facebook founder said that fake news, polarised views and "filter bubbles" were damaging "common understanding".
He said people had been left behind by global growth, sparking demands to "withdraw" from the "connected world".

Why yes, what once was to be a family and friends type app has become anything but. More political crap and family/friends trying to sell me LuLaRue pants than I care to count. Filtering through the junk I found a picture of my friends dog. Time to dump the app.

Quote:

In a call to action, he said people must not "sit around and be upset", but act to build "social infrastructures".

And my bank account so to buy an entire Hawaiian island.

Quote:

"Now that vision is becoming more controversial."

No worries. You will survive on your billions.

Quote:

He told the BBC: "There are people around the world that feel left behind by globalisation and the rapid changes that have happened, and there are movements as a result to withdraw from some of that global connection."

They survived before FB and will survive not being connected to hopefully a dying form of communication named Facebook.

It's becoming increasingly boring. But it is more Zuckerberg. Another one who looks to champion social change which he has with a program. He should keep to programming.

I don't have FB. Who needs it when there's Subsim.

Well, FB was great when first introduced. Find old friends and college buddies. Then it turns to finding old flames and ruining marriages. In the meantime it become a platform for friends and family to start selling crap. Every post becomes something they are selling. Real estate. LuLaRue Pants. Avon. Party Lite Candles. You get the idea. It is to the point FB is useless for keeping up with family and friends. And for good measure it becomes a soap box for getting the word out on a favorite candidate with associated bickering and dropping the friendship on FB. There..showed you. Unfriended my friend!

All of this culminates with fake news that, well, Zuckerberg ignored as he purchased an entire neighborhood in Hawaii. Zuckerberg is instrumental in destroying the very "vision" he has for globalization. Withdraw from the connected world...sounds like a good idea because connecting like we humans have with FB sure the hell has not helped it much.

I'm getting stamps. Expect a letter.
