Re: Is Facebook killing freedom and liberty?
well, shows how much they know what's good for them... of course, iif they did, they'd not be on FB to begin with.
and maybe I'm mistaking clegg with some other brit politico, such is my familiarity with over-the -channel politics.

FB is too big to fail, it will destroy or eject clegg before he destroys it

Clegg is the guy who gave people what they voted for, only to find that wasn't what they wanted after all.
I see the appointment of one of their prominent critics as a recognition by Facebook that they want to move in a more liberal, less authoritarian direction, and that is a good thing.

100% verifiable facts or your money back. Anti-fascist. Enemy of woo - theistic or otherwise. Cloth is not an antiviral. Imagination and fantasy is no substitute for tangible reality. Wishing doesn't make it real.

It's just a sign of the continuing corporatisation politics. Soon we'll all be citizens of Facebook, Amazon, Netflix or Google.

Nick Clegg is just another little piggy with his snout in the trough and a corporate hand up his well-greased posterior.
Makes me even more snug to have exited FB.

I feel even more snug as I never joined it or any social media.

Neither I have, but I don't need to feel about it.

It's all bad for one's mental health. Probably time to switch the internet off. No good comes from allowing cretins to congregate.

Re: Is Facebook killing freedom and liberty?
In all seriousness, I'm sort of in favour of there being a license to use the internet, sort of like there is a license to broadcast on the airwaves.

You must be some kind of Communist who hates freedom.

Re: Is Facebook killing freedom and liberty?
I think there are some interesting ideas in Communism, yes, but the thrust of my gist is that the internet gives a platform to people similar to how radio gives a platform, and that society could stand to benefit from the policing of its use.

If we have to pick a corporation, I'll take Strum, Ruger, and Co.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
