@christineburns Very true. It's taken me a long time to finally realise how awful it is.

@christineburns and demanded real names in the world that was pseudonyms until then.

@christineburns
That domino meme, where the little domino is "creepy nerd's college friends don't call him out" and the big domino is "giant tech corporation facilitates genocide with impunity"

@christineburns that creeper kills goats for fun and thinks he's a 'tough guy'

I am so sick of creepy, immature men running everything.

@christineburns lol

@christineburns "Mark Zuckerberg is a Creep" -- Cory Doctorow

@christineburns hey it was Garvard.

@christineburns that's why I've never joined Facebook, though my children think I'm being silly. But as a father of three girls and step father of two more. And grandfather of two girls. I believe I should set and example. My grandsons will get told off if they join!

@christineburns Maybe we should try to find out why it wasn't.

@christineburns

Almost like a ... book ... of faces?

@christineburns it DEFINITELY should've been enough, and the crap he said in college has always bugged me, how he can't believe people just give him their data. And the Caesar haircut, it all just adds up to who he really is

@christineburns yup. I had forgotten about that. How easy it is to forget some things about people.

@christineburns

Everyone should consider deleting or at least suspending their account on the 20th.

@christineburns

Virtual "pussy grabbing." Funny how that video of Trump warned no one about anything, either.

@christineburns
Confusion reigned supreme with advent of lads mags & page 3.
Where did society go wrong? Did it go wrong?
Now I find tattoos covering most of a young female extremely unattractive.
Is it me?

@christineburns it was enough for me - I've never had an account. I miss out on a lot of family stuff because they insist on communicating through Meta's platforms, which tells me all I need to know about how much I can depend on *them*.

@christineburns I still feel a bit bad about not knowing that when I made an account when I was 15

Definitely wouldn't have had I known that history

@christineburns So true. I went against my better judgement when I joined.

@christineburns

They're all rapists in every facet of their being. Assault and control.

@christineburns THIS!! THANK YOU.

@christineburns
Exactly!

@christineburns This guy does not want to be put in the position where he has to tell Trump "no". A gutless and gormless decision.

@christineburns Most FB users have not liked this person for years anyway due to absurd changes (And yes... I found out that Facebook started as a site of this type a few years ago)

@christineburns same with snapchat which was 100% created for sexting. Both have douchebag founders who prey on others.

@christineburns Once a schmuck, always a schmuck.

@christineburns that's what peter thiel liked about mark. he's a creep.

@christineburns And it was. (For Silicon Valley’s venture capital machine to invest in him.)

@christineburns I remind myself of this fact, and it doesn’t make things make sense, but gives me context that he is who he always was. You make a great point.

@christineburns yeah, I mean, at what point was this asshole supposed to be any kind of moral leader, FFS.

@christineburns i kept my account to keep up with distant family, which will change as soon as I hop on my laptop, but was under no pretense Zuck himself was anything other than a worm. i can't believe people genuinely bought his "rebrand'.

@christineburns I was suspicious of Facebook from the start and never made an account. It was just a vibe thing

Learning this later made it all make sense

Also, recommended reading for those who can stomach it (for the biography, the analysis is solid but more mixed):

That's how I introduce Farcebook in my (anti)social media lecture.
