Re: [AFMUG] OT FB friends
The fundamental problem with FB is that they change their
position almost weekly, and it's impossible to keep up with what
the current "policy" is, or what influence (if any) you might have
in it. I say this for all the FB "properties" including WhatsApp,
Instagram, etc.

that's how the russian trolls are
able to spread their FUD. they friend request your
friends and your friends see you are friends so they

Re: [AFMUG] OT FB friends
Their demographics though slant toward soccer moms and older. I’m surprised so many people here are so enthusiastic about it. I observe 20-29 year olds using stuff like Reddit and Youtube not Facebook. I guess Facebook also has Instagram but that seems like a site for celebrities and fashion and style “influencers”, what we used to call shills. And Whatsapp, I know zilch about that. Facebook seems like a house of cards to me, mediocre features, poor demographics, and falling out of favor for their aggressive collection and monetization of data without regard for privacy. All they seem to have going for them is lots of subscribers, and that could change quickly if something better came along. As Facebook buys other social media sites, I wonder how strong is the non compete agreement the sellers have to sign.
