Anyone that was influenced by FB just needs to have their account deleted.

Stupid is, stupid does. We'll be seeing 'collusion' in bean sprouts before it is all over. Anything to keep the ball rolling.

I agree. That would be about 80% of conservatives.

The FB users should not have the authority to send other peoples data anywhere.

I'll say it again; anyone who thinks Mark Zuckerberg created FB and or the thing still keeps going so May Dear can share pictures of her grandkids or whatever is deluded, or at least not very well informed.


Facebook is one large data/information collection enterprise, that then turns around and chops up then sells bits of that information in aggregate to whoever is willing to pay their prices.


Miss. Betty White nailed it when she called FB ".... a colossal waste of time..."


Fact that Mr. Zuckerberg, his sister, other family members along with select others are worth billions from something that does basically nothing simply shows where the US and other world economies have moved.


It took companies like Ford, IBM, General Motors, and so forth decades to reach those sort of stock valuations, and they actually produced tangible things.

They make their money from ads and data collection. Why do you think the membership does not cost anything?

Yes; it's enough to make me want to delete Facebook. Too many people are getting access to my information; it has nothing to do with who is posting what.
