    I have never spent a second on it, have never opened an account and hate those “log in with faceturd” sign in thingies. I haven’t read up on the lawsuit or issues because I’m not personally affected, as far as I know and if I am, I can’t control the outcome. It’ll be what it’ll be. I do find it interesting that people scream about privacy but post every brain fart, picture, thought, basically everything about their lives, health conditions, you name it, and then complain about big gubmint and privacy. Their “privacy” has been sliced and diced a million ways to Sunday and sold to anyone willing to pay.

    I’m not sure it has a monopoly as what’s stopping someone from creating a competitive platform that all the cool kids will migrate to? And who cares?

    any website you visit that has a facebook plugin sends that data of your visit to Facebook. whether you have an account or not.

    have done searches and the very item I searched for shows up in an ad on facebook within seconds.
    THATS the kind of privacy people are up in arms about.

    Doesn’t bother me and I don’t buy things because an ad pops up on the interweb. I buy things because I want them or need them and when I do, I research based on spend and importance. Socks and unnywears, doesn’t matter. Laptops and TVs, cars, stereo equipment, etc. I’m researching and aren’t influenced by what pops up. It’s price and features that are important to me. And I avoid amazon at all costs but will use them as a research tool.

    Facebook is great for gaining knowledge from self taught "experts" on subjects. In just the past year, I have been bombarded with information on Constitutional law (specifically regarding impeachment), pandemics and election laws and rules. It's wonderful.

    My Twitter account wants my Mic turned on when I take a picture?  F that.  Not going to post anything on there anymore.  Only following now.

    It also want access to my pics.  I want to take a live pic, no need to access my camera feed.

    Oh well it was a shithole anyways...

    Dude, the youtube links that they post are soooo informative though!

    Actually FB did something to their algorithms and I don't see any bias on my feed anymore and that is the reason I stayed friends w people so I can learn from it.

    Anyone else notice that?

    I have yet to block anyone.  I have been blocked though, lol.  People are very quick to block you if you disagree w them I have found.  Imagine if that were a thing on AMT?!?  We would never discuss anything.

    lol i would never block anybody on here. most people are above average intelligence and it is moderated so most people are pretty cool. we are all paying members so we all have some skin in the game. if this board was like is used to be before pay to post i am sure i would have some people blocked. it was a little more wild back then, haha.
