Tools are not funneling me to information sites or goods and services providers. Phones are used for evil purposes by corporate entities.

Some people are more adept at handling the tool, and some people use it for more benign purposes than others. <br /><br />Whether Facebook is on your phone, tablet, or computer, you are in control of what you’re notified about. But it is a business, and they want you using it!

Radio and TV stations are either producing or paying for the content they put out. They don’t provide a platform for any Tom, Grizz, or Coey to share their thoughts. Plus, they use the public airwaves. Facebook is more like a bulletin board. That doesn’t mean they can’t or shouldn’t have some standards about what their users can put out there, but it’s just not the same thing.

The people who learn the patterns and manipulations going on are smart enough to limit it or quit it. Trouble arises for the believers who get sucked into the vortex of idiocy.J.

I hated it I don't need to be prompted to check out some stupid post.<br /><br />After I look at EGD I check Facebook every morning.<br /><br />A few months ago the annoying s*** on the book was really getting to me coupled with zuckerberg's face being all over the news and I nearly shut it off.<br />But I don't really want to the things that I like about Facebook I want the other things I figured out how to purge.<br /><br />It's not easy and one of my kids had to help me but I don't see nearly as much crap as I used to almost none some days and I also purged my friends list down to less than a hundred and the criteria was people I actually know. <br />Some of them post crap I don't want to see and I snooze them for a month and if when I get back on they keep doing that I snooze and permanently. <br />If they DM me some stupid crap which has happened like these Mass DMs I unfriend them.<br /><br />You only have to look at what you want to look at and I'm glad it's not Facebook's responsibility to decide what I want to look at and if they allow me to tailor the site to my pleasure.<br /><br />These phones are evil the apps are evil hell the newspapers are evil. I just tried to avoid the s*** I have no interest in or annoys me.FMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829632906445535928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-11601523296257584082021-10-21T11:34:06.744-05:002021-10-21T11:34:06.744-05:00Radio stations and TV stations are responsible for...Radio stations and TV stations are responsible for their brodcasts. Why is this platform any different? Now Zuck wants to change the name? Okay, whatever. He maintains that his out-of-control mosnter is really all about YOU. So maybe he should just call it Zuck You.<br /><br />If he renames it, does that mean I can't call it Fecesbook anymore?Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-22376454006500909892021-10-21T08:38:26.179-05:002021-10-21T08:38:26.179-05:00FB apologists will say things like, “I know its ev...FB apologists will say things like, “I know its evil but it’s a good way to share pictures with friends and family.”<br />Weak.<br />Zuckerberg and the like shuck their responsibility for all the nonsense that spreads on their money makers by saying they are just the platform and can’t really control what is posted.<br />Why can’t they be held responsible? They are the ones who target the susceptible. <br /> Maybe some lawyer can teach me something.

What sentient adult of normal intelligence is *unaware* of cancer? If you want my attention, much less my money, talk about specifics like encouraging screenings, funding research, helping with the cost of care, etc.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.com
